I play field hockey and there are these pretty girls in my team and really, they're great, they're nice, they're awesome players etc, but today I heard one of them say: "Oh, my ass is huge! And look at my hips! I'm sooooo fat!" Of course, all the other girls went "oooh, shut up! You're not fat!"

:angry:

I'm just getting sick of hearing people who are obviously not fat saying that they're fat and ugly, just to hear other people say that they're not. It just pisses me off, really.

-takes a deep breath-

-pokes Sophles-

Silly Sophles.
<3

If they think they're fat then let them think that. They're fools. XD

xD

Well, yeah, they can think that, just don't say it out loud just to hear others say you're not.

silly seanles <3

I'm not fat. I know it, although there have been times I've felt fat, bloated, ect. It's a girl thing. Girls criticize themselves, sometimes to hear other people say that its not true, other times because they really are down on themselves. Its not cool, but there really isnt anything you can do about it besides ignore it, or go "You know you aren't fat. We know you aren't fat. Stop it!" Which usually leaves the person going o.O... and leaving it be for a while.

yeeeeah that kinda compliment begging gets me annoyed considering the people who I hear saying that are always lot thinner than I am. So if they tell they are fat then what am I??? An elephant? I mean that's just annoying. They should quit bitching and begging for praises towards their ah so gorgeous ass. *snort*

I AM fat.

But that kind of comes with the territory of weighing as much as I do. I won't divulge how much I weigh because its quite embarrassing. BUT! I don't go around calling myself fat- when its this obvious, need I state it? NO.

Those little twig girls who go around saying they're fat bug the crap out of me. If you think you're fat, then what the hell am I? My own freaking planet?!


When I was 8, the neighborhood kids thought it was funny to tell me that I was the newest discovered planet in the solar system.

I will be their boss one day and then they'll pay! *shakes fist*


Lol, j/k.

But I totally understand your frustration.

I'm more pissed off at hearing people say how someone else is fat unless they are actually underweight. And I know people that do.....

Yeah. That's just downright cruel.

I often wonder what's wrong with some people these days.

*shakes head*

It really annoys me when people say they are fat when they aren't. I do it on occasion, because I can't escape these stereotypical behaviour patterns us females fall in but not very often and I try not to ^_^

My response when girls complain they are fat is to very bluntly and with a straight face say 'yes, you are'. And when they stare at me in shock I say 'of course you aren't, stop being silly.' They are generally too shocked to do it again for a while.

I don't tend to tolerate being near cruel people, so I don't often hear people talk about how others are fat. If they do I really get stuck into them. Even if I don't know them at all.

Ugh, I have one friend like this. It's usually not fatness though (occasionally), but more like "ew my hair/make up/clothes/drawings are soooooo terrible" and so everyone goes all "no, you look nice/it's good!" cause she's really nice. Now I just tell her to shut up and quit looking for compliments :|

I think it is kind of normal for most girls to kind of doubt their bodies at some stage. I have bad days but then I sort of think... who cares, really, if I have like, back flab or whatever. Who knows. At least I'm not stick thin, which just looks gross.

I envy curvy girls, actually. I'd rather have a body like that then a model's body.

God, this annoys me too.

Also when you see someone's myspace and they put up a picture with the caption "I am ugly, but here's a pic anyway" and I just shake my head.

If they REALLY thought they were ugly, if the REALLY had issues with their physical appearance they would not pose and take photos to start with and their certainly would not post them on MYSPACE!

I hate this so much as well.

Even though I have to admit that I am guilty of doing it myself. Sometimes it is nice when you're feeling down for someone to say "Not you're not, stop being an idiot".

I especially hate when someone is obviously a lot fatter and then the thinner person sits there complaining about their body. Gee, so what the hell do you really think of mine? Don't they realise when they are calling themselves fat that they're harming the other person. Mind you, some screwed up people want this as well.

It's also very draining to have to reassure someone constantly about the state of their appearance. If it happens all the time it strikes me as bit a selfish and thoughtless too.

But thin people complaining about their size? It's utterly annoying.

I know what you mean. I have two friends who often complain about being fat and they are skinnier than me which was very bad a little while ago as I kept feeling fat. I was coming out of the girls toilets at school in the changing rooms and I caught my refelction in the mirror. I frozed then started clenching and unclenching my fists. I think I'm over that now.

Apparantly my fat index is over what it should be but I think that is a load of rubbish.

My friend was having loads of problems a while back and one of them was about her weight, I was worried that she was turning anorexic. But it was made worse by people who kept saying that they were fat as she kept seeing herself as fatter than them and when she heard people complainiong about being fat she wouldn't eat for days.

I say I look fat and I say I look ugly. I don't care what everyone else thinks about me saying it because I'm not going to go around and call all of you ugly and fat. It's the typical female hormones messing with me.

I used to be overweight. I lost the weight, but that fat is still there. I also have problems breaking down and just generally eating Dairy. So, I do, in fact, bloat so much that I feel like I look like a cow.

I'm not calling you a cow, am I? I didn't say you were fat. I said I feel fat. And usually when I say anything about being fat, it's always "I feel fat".

xD And I actually do agree with people when they say they are fat. They kinda look at me shocked, but eventually stopped doing it. I never say that I feel fat around friends. It's always to my overweight fiancee who tells me that I look beautiful.

:) I love him.

I'm a British size twelve. I have been up to a 16, and I think I'm only back down to a 12 because I'm not eating properly... and they've changed the dress sizes.

I think I'm really a 14. And I am not fat. I know there are bits of me where I could stand to lose a couple of inches or so, but I am not fat. And stick-thin people who say they're fat need to learn how to feel comfortable in their own bodies, and not put themselves down or go fishing for compliments.

Gah!

I do feel fat at times. Like, I bought a pair of knee socks and they were a bit tighter than I thought they'd be, so in order to not feel like the fat might pool over the edge of the sock, I would have to have it sit just below/at my knee. But I know that I'm not actually fat.

Everyone's body is different. My ideal weight, according to one of my doctors, is actually overweight when compared with what the ideal weight for someone at 5' 2". Some people have larger bone structures, some people retain more water, are prone to ups and downs... Everyone is different. I am guilty of saying I'm fat or ugly, but I don't say it often, and I tend to end up telling my best friend or my boyfriend, and even then not often because I feel beautiful by just being in my bf's presence. It only bothers me when someone says it if they have no right to say it - basically, people whose leg I could probably snap in half with a twitch of my hand, whose waist I could wrap my hands around. THOSE people should not be saying a word. But, unfortunately, we don't all view ourselves the same way, and it seems to me that many of the overly skinny girls think they're fat and that is why they're so skinny.

Ugh, my friend does this all the time. And she weighs 110 lbs. and is only about 5'5".

Fat? I don't think so.

Really, it pisses me off. I don't know if she's saying it so she can hear me tell her that she's not fat or if she actually thinks that she is, but it bothers me so much. If anything, she's underweight. At least according to me.

I think that some girls might get FEELING fat mixed up with actually BEING fat. And yes, maybe those girls really do think they're fat - but I know that for me, at least, when I say I'm feeling fat it means I'm feeling bloated. I know that I could never, EVER be called fat [I'm 5'8" and 120lbs, for Christ's sake] but sometimes if I've eaten too much, etc, I'll get that icky bloated feeling and I don't know. Maybe that's what some girls mean - some, not all. There are definitely those who say that to get compliments.


If you actually understood any of that, you get a cookie.
It's been a long day and I am just incredibly incoherent.
That probably made no sense to the majority of you...
Heck, it didn't even make sense to me.

I know ... a few people like this. I myself am guilty of doing it at times as well. However the difference between myself and the friends I have that do it is that I am not a stick figure and I am not searching for compliments. I basically mention it in a joking manner and not to be down about myself. I know I'll never get down to that perfect body because it's in my genes. I'm lucky that I'm losing weight as it is. Joking about it and casually mentioning it makes it a funnier issue and then it's easier to deal with. So I don't say things like "God I'm so FAT". I say things like "AHAHAHHA THUNDER THIGHSSSSSS" (this was me playing DDR for HOURS the other day because my legs started wobbling once they got too tired and then just gave out completely). I have larger legs, they're very muscular, also genetic, huggeee calves, but I could totally kick the crap out of someone if needed ^.^

The friends I have, however, are all of the people you're talking about. Those 5'5", 128 pound girls who feel like they have to mention it to fish for compliments. Anymore, I ignore them. I don't even acknowledge it. If they keep going, I look at them with my apparently very intimidating glare and they stfu. I don't tell them they aren't fat because they all know they aren't fat. I don't tell them they're gorgeous and beautiful and how I'd kill to look like them because I think that the smirk and the attitude I get after saying something like that is just ridiculous. So I've come to realize ignoring it is so much easier.

NOW, there is a difference between people fishing for compliments and other times when you really do just FEEL fat. A lot of people, after eating a large dinner, FEEL fat but they aren't saying they ARE fat. A lot of women feel HUGE once a month but come on, when your jeans won't button and your stomach is bloated for a week straight, it's all right to feel fat for a week. It's even all right to say it. It's just not all right to get upset when someone doesn't compliment you.

I'm an honest person. A brutally, blunt, honest person. I'm not in the habit of saying things I don't believe and I'm definitely not going to repeat myself a thousand times, saying the same thing over and over when you just tell me the next day how fat/ugly/stupid/useless/etc you are AGAIN. If I tell you once that you aren't fat or anything else mentioned, then drop it. You aren't. When brought up again, I'm not going to be as nice.

That was basically an unorganized rant. I didn't even have a thought process for it. It came out as it came out.

D: I wish I weighed 135 lbs.

But yes, I have taken in my 155 lbs at 5'8 with pride. You know why? I'm not fat. I say I feel fat. I bloat easily. And if someone around me says that they are fat, I agree with em. They stop it after a while.

I have wide hips and huge thighs. I agree with Joker in saying I could kick some ass if need be. lol But I do bloat. I do say that I feel fat. It's girly instinct! YAY GIRLY INSTINCT!

I'm 5'10 and about 155 pounds. I seriously feel fat sometimes. I can't help it. I think it's the angle I look down at my body that makes me look larger than I actually am. I have this little stomach pooge that looks like I've got a baby bump sometimes.

I hate it.

I am trying to fix it though by doing like fifty crunches every few hours...Hopefully that will fix it.

But seriously sometimes the angle you look down at your body at has alot to do with things

D: WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?!?!?!!!?!????

*pets* I'm only 2 inches taller. It's okay dear. You probably just have more muscle than I do or something...

; ; I hope so.

When someone posts pictures online and adds captions to them (be it on MySpace or on forums) that say "omg i'm fat but w/e" or something of the sort, it screams "Attention whore!" very loudly.

Who would post a picture of themselves that they hate online for everyone to see?

Or how about "well, this isn't a good picture, but whatever." All I can think is that it is the best picture he/she has but he/she wants to appear more beautiful, so he/she tries to convince others that there are better. If that explanation makes sense.

As far as IRL someone say that she is fat . . . well, I can understand that a lot better because I think we're all prone to thinking that we're fat at one point in time or another. Sometimes it's a spur of a moment thing or we just catch a glimpse of our reflections.

But when someone who is not fat repeats it over and over, it gets on my nerves. As previously pointed out, if someone really is overweight, no words need to be said, do they? After all, when we say "I'm so fat!" we want people to reassure us that we aren't. (Most of the time.) But what would we say to someone who is fat and he/she said something like that? I mean no offense to anyone, please. I'm just trying to see the logic of the situation.

When I look down, I see a flesh coloured blob. And its me. Lolz.


Anyhow, yeah, people who really ARE fat don't need to state that they feel fat. Its kind of like a given, yeah? When your gut sticks out and your butt sticks out and you have a few chins... well, nothing needs said. Everyone knows.


-_-


People exasperate me.


(And hence why I don't often post pics of myself online. I don't think anything really is good or worth showing.)

I do that, Dec. I post pictures of myself saying something deprecating about my appearance. It's mostly because I think I look terrible in photos. I'm quite pretty in real life, but soooooo unphotogenic.

Why do I do it?

I like to show people how I look. I want people to put a face to the name, so if they see me walking around their hometown they can go ZOMG(osh) it's Emma!

Why do I put the 'bad picture' or 'way prettier in real life' tag? Because I want them to know I'm prettier xDDD

EDIT: To be more on topic, I don't think I ever put a picture up and say I'm fat. I don't tend to have a problem with my weight, unless I'm wearing a bikini. And hey, I wear a bikini and I don't wear board shorts (dunno about other countries but in NZ every teenage girl wears cute boardies over her bikini bottoms to hide her fat legs or soemthing), so I'm obviously not that worried xDD

That bothers me, now that I think about it. People who wear ultra-revealing/tight clothing and then complaining about how they're way too fat to wear it. I can understand why you'd wear it even if you thought you were too fat, but if you do that then you will bring attention to yourself and everyone will be able to scrutinise just how fat you are.

What irritates me is when people who aren't at all fat say they are - but around overweight people.

It drives me insane! :angry:

When it's clear that they weigh less then the other person but they still maintain that they're overweight and when they get called on it they say "No YOU'RE not fat".

o_O How can I not be fat if I weigh more then you and you're apparently hideously overweight?

It drives me insane more because they have absolutely nothing to back them up then anything else. I hate it when people make a point which doesn't make sense then don't back down from it.

Also: I really don't know any overweight people who are happy to run around telling people they're overweight because they know the only response they'll get is awkwardness or lies. People who aren't overweight who keep saying they are are only looking for attention in my book and it drives me up a wall.

I HATE when people do that. I mean obviously they're extremely insecure if they're going to go about fishing for compliments in such a manner, but honestly. It's selfish too, because they're hurting someone else's feelings just so they'll feel better about themselves.

I used to have a friend like that, actually - she was stick thin, even thinner than me - and she would always complain about how fat she was in the presence of our other friend who was 300+ pounds and very self conscious about her weight. It made me really angry.

jkshgfhuiasgfkasf.

Forbidden, if I was your 300+ lb friend, I'd snap your thin friend in half.

Heaven forbid the day I gain tons of weight. You all better watch out, y'hear?

I'm only 5'0 and I don't know how much I weight but it does stop me from looking very skinny as there is less space for the fat to spread out. ^,^ I think that my weight is almost purfect for me but I do think that in the future I will have trouble. Me and my dad have a bet on. He says that when I'm his age I will be overweight. I say that I wont be.
