smalltowngrl

I dont really think Im fat but all my friends do and it's really getting to me... I mean if you listen to 70% of girls they say their fat I really believe that this is starting to be an epidemic in this country I started a forward about it..... anything to help (if anyone wants to help help I'll email them the forward) Im really just tired of people having such low self esteem!!!! Please help and give advice about other ways I can help my friend to be less self concious and start the fight against the dillema!!!!!!!!!!!

I really dont understand why people think there fat. And then most end up going on some sorta diet. And most are really skinny to begin with. To me thats just weird.

I`m not saying this because I`m skinny I`m not really skinny either. I`m normal. I have meat on my bones. Have you seen some of the models lately? Some of them have absolutely NO MEAT ON THERE BONES. For people who think there fat I just want to say if you think your fat them pm me. I`m gonna give you a few images. I dont think all of you would want to see these images so I`m not gonna post them here. But if you do them just pm me.

I'm tired of hearing all the girls who think they're fat.

I have friends who are 5'8, weigh 125 lbs, and think they're fat. WTF? People with a taller height can carry more weight. Most of that weight is muscle (usually). I don't remember the exact number but females are SUPPOSED to have a certain amount of fat! That's just the way things are.

I understand everyone goes through their little insecurities, but this is ridiculous. Unless they actually do have a weight problem (obesity, perhaps?), they have no right to complain. If they think they need to lose a couple of pounds, they can get off their lazy ass and do something about it! (By exercise or even a change of diet. Both preferably!)

go to JKRowling's website and read her rant in the extra section. it's my opinion exactly. THere are more important things to worry about than weight, like health in general for example. skinny doesn't mean healthy. still more important: personality, or strength of person not to get caught up in the epidemic. As for whether I think I'm fat? I'm not. I'm actually trying to look less like a stick figure drawing.
