I have always had this sentiment for years. When I was in college, I was about 200lbs (at 5'3), and I had a friend who was always "dieting" and weighed about 100lbs. I did later learn that she was anorexic and she ended up in and out of hospitals for a bit, so for some people, their complaints are a separate, serious problem. Now I weight about 150lbs, and it took a lot of effing hard work to get there. I still have more to lose but I take a lot of pride in what I have accomplished. But now I get comments from others who don't like it when I complain about myself. It's strange, because for my height, I am still well beyond my healthy weight, especially because I have a small bone structure, and by all medical definitions (weight, BMI, % body fat, etc) I am fat. I just think maybe we all need to keep our self-hating fat comments to ourselves, because negativity only breeds failure in the end. It's terrible that body image is such a major part of women feeling inadequate in America.
