"I got this really cute tank top that I wan to wear but my arms are to fat. I'm disgusting....."
"Everyone is wearing tanktops and shorts while I'm wearing jeans and jackets..... I want to be skinny.... And I'll keep trying until i am."

I don't get why girls fall for this ~if you're not a size 0 you're fat and disgusting~ thing.

I know it's cliche but I still feel like you should just love yourself for who you are and not worry about what other people think. If they don't like you, screw them, they're not worth your time if all they care about is what size of jeans you wear.
Be you. Be happy.

You can say tht again Emoticon: Tongue :p I'm glad I'm not one of those people who obssess over that stuff. It's important to stay at a healthy weight...but too many time people get crazy with it. It gets pretty bad.
I am gay, straight, bisexual, lesbian, transgender... I am a person.

This shit sickens me. And it's sad because gay guys even do it to some extent too. I'm 5'7" and like 140 lbs. and to most gay guys I'm considered "fat". =(

I hate that stereotype. I mean I know I'm bigger I'm 5'7" and a half about 200 ibs. But I'm beautiful in my own way. As my girlfriend once said to me " You are ____(insert real name there) and you are perfect because you are my ____. You are beautiful"

Back in the day when I was an Emo kid I got all the ladies Jealous because I could fit into 00 girl skinnies. I agree though, I think people need to learn how to judge someone without their eyes.

God yeah, it's so stupid. I'm chubby and I'm happy. It's really easy to fall into that, though, especially since we're bombarded by images of skinny people every day in the media.

I know I have little room to talk as I am fairly thin and a little taller than average myself, but people worry to much about weight. I can understand the health concerns surrounding being too overweight, however girls in an average and healthy weight range still worry about not being the ideal size. Everyone has some fat, if you didn't your internal organs would be sliding all against each other and girls are supposed to have more fat for childbearing and such.

To be honest, I used to get a little self-conscious about people saying I am too thin. XD It goes in both directions honestly, when really, the most attractive thing about a woman can just be the confidence she has in her own body.

Another way that guys have it slightly worse is that there is a market for curvy girls, and guys (and gay girls) who love them.
A "curvy" guy is considered gross almost universally.
The media bombards images of guys with six-packs, or twink-thin guys.
The whole "bear" thing is specifically big, hairy men. I'm not big or hairy.
Also, if a woman has extra breast fat, well... it's considered good. Girls are "supposed to" have breats according to society.
Guys aren't. If the fat accumulates there... gotta wear really loose clothing so nobody notices. Or else you get made fun of. =(

I know I'm a guy...but I thought I'd say I actually hate my weight.

Everyone says I'm not fat...I'm not too sure exactly what weight I am as I'm genuinely too scared to weigh myself. I guess I could say about 9 Stone 6-7 pounds.

ummm, not too sure how to convert that into kg and whatever, sorry.

Anyway, just because this means I'm not muscly or have the "Golden Six Pack", and I'm also gay, instantly, I am considered overweight.

It's crap.

I have a different view depending on what mood I'm in.

Sometimes I'm like, yeah whatever, Life's too short to worry about weight. If a guy or girl doesn't like me because of my weight then stuff them.

Other days I almost become morbidly depressed over my weight and I go through a month or two of completely starving myself, just eating tea to keep my family happy and so I lose the weight which I consider too much.

It's crap but...it's more of a hormone thing I think. One minute I'm happy with myself, the next minute I feel like Shrek.

I'm a size 20 and I don't know how I feel about it. XD People keep telling me I'm unhealthy and I need to lose weight. Other people tell me to love myself. I don't know where I stand, but I know I don't hate myself for my weight. ^___^

Size, whether it is a size zero or size 20, should not make anyone feel anything but beautiful!

i agree people shud love themselfs no matter wat. but coming from the point of view of myself that if im not skinny im not pretty i know whats going thro girl's minds. we just want to impress people, for years the thing was that guys only prefer skinny girls. But its not just about what people think. i know for me i was trying to fit into a stereotype kinda. i had this thing where i thought i couldnt be a cheerleader unless i was skinny. its sad to think that people dont love themselfs unless they are a size 0

I don't know, I just believe in a healthy lifestyle. Like, as a rule, I don't eat junk food. And if I do, I make sure I exercised that day. And I eat vegetables and drink my water. I think health and fitness are most important, not what size of clothing you wear. I feel sorry for the people who think they're fat. I used to have an excess of fat (hint: you have fat, but you can't be fat.. Fat: A natural oily or greasy substance occurring in animal bodies, esp. when deposited as a layer under the skin or around certain organs). I was 265 pounds or 120kg or nearly 19 stone. I looked in the mirror one day and burst out crying. I'd never felt so unattractive. I think I wore a size 18 Canadian (size 20 in Britain). Yeah... Not so hot. But that part of my life is nearly over. I'm currently 145 pounds, 65.9 kg, or just over 10 stone. It almost offends me when healthy people complain that they're not 'skinny'. Newsflash, life isn't going to end if you're not skinny, however it could end if you're not healthy.

So true. People always tell me that my ass is too big, bit screw them. There's nothing wrong with the size of my ass. I don't get why people are so obsessed with being skinny. As soon as someone's thin, they're just gonna be accused of being anorexic anyway.

^Exactly. Nobody is EVER happy.

"Eww, girls with muscle look too butch! Gross!"
Nobody is ever happy. =\

I just get upset by it.
I mean I'm into girls who are..I don't know how to put it, like bigger, I guess.
But it's just so hard to convince them that they're beautiful.
My ex/crush/kind of datingn/like thing/ is big, and I know she hates it, and I just try to support her and tell her she's perfect the way she is. Just she's being influenced by the media because she literally feels like she doesn't deserve to eat and enjoy foor and I'm just like. "Fuck I hate society."
I mean like I'm all for losing weight healthy. I will compliment your ass off. But I just don't want to see people develop eating disorders, I've dealt with/still dealing with my own and I know the hell you go through and I'd never wish that on someone else.
Everyone's beautiful.
And should be treated as such.

I understand all the backlash again the whole "you have to be skinny to be attractive" thing (it is pretty dumb), but at the same time you can go almost to the opposite extreme. I don't like when I hear people say weight doesn't matter. If you're fat (and I mean fat, not "slightly overweight"), you are endangering your health and limiting your opportunities: like it or not, many potential employers and partners will be turned off by weight. People who tell you you should lose weight for health reasons have your best interest in mind; there's nothing offensive about that! I am NOT saying skinny is the only way to go, but if you're very heavy it really is in your best interest to lose weight.
