doesnt it annoy you when naturally thin people call themselves fat?

YESSSSSSSS!!!

so today at track my friend and i were talking about how out of shape we were, except for me out of shape is havent run in a day, and she points out her thigh "jiggle"

now this girl is a stickkkk and i was like omg shut up, and she kept on saying it. and she knows i have an ED, and that im trying to recover and her saying that[when shes tiny] DOESNT HELP WITH MY SITUATION

its like ah

anyone go through this as well?

I hate that. As someone with an ED, this is def triggering.

NO kidding right?! Are they trying to hurt my feelings? Or do they want freaking attention. I hate hate haaaaaaaate it!

YES!

I had a friend who I knew was smaller than me. And she kept saying she was fat and stuff and made me feel really big, and it got to a huge competition. This lead to some ED behaviors..exsessive excersize and restricting once I got to 1200-1300 cals even if it was 1 in the afternoon, I would try to not eat the rest of the day and just obsessing over calories in general. So then she started some rumours about me and I stopped hanging out to her and barely I barely talk to her anymore. Probabaly THE BEST thing I have ever done, and  I dont regret it at all.. she was a **** friend. And now I have made some improvments and stopped caring so much I guess just because I dont feel I have any competition, and Ive realized its not all about calories, its also what you get the calories from.

I find it more annoying when fat people say that they are meant to be fat and its just bad genes,

I think naturally thin people may actually have a higher bf% because they seem to have trouble gaining muscle mass and what not so I believe them when they say their fat,  

most people hate the fat on their body...it's pretty common...

As someone recovering from anorexia I must say that this type of thing is very triggering.  I'm trying to be comfortable with the idea of having a little more meat on my bones, and when some skinny-minnie starts complaining about being fat, it makes me feel very uncomfortable in my own skin.

My friend, who eats like an absolute pig and is somehow a size zero, called herself fat and said she was going to go on a diet. I almost murdered her.

That is definitely annoying (and not to mention insensitive of her since she knows that you are a recovering ED).

Although, I, personally, find that most of the people w/ ED's ARE naturally thin people who think they're fat!!

I hate when People think they are fat when they arent. if the think they are fat at 5 foot 1 inch and 101 pounds and im the same hieght but weight 215 what does that make me a hippo?........i came on this site to meet and talk to people who truly need and want to lose weight. Not to skinny annorexic people i hate that it disgusts me, i like this site but dang there are more people who need to gain weight trying to lose than people who truly could lose the weight!!!!!!!

Not really unless they are under weight, then I get concerned. Even when I was still classified as overweight people would dismiss my weight loss as unnecessary and vain. Your friend may have her own issues with her body, however provoking your ed is not nice.

Or how about when people complain about how much weight they've lost?

We were in a bike shop two weekends ago, and the girl helping us kept talking about the health benefits of biking. Okay, I get it, right, I need to lose weight and this will help. Why do you think I'm here, and not looking at Wiis?

Then she just kept going. She said she was 5'7" and her high weight was 135, and that she was so happy to have lost weight, but now she was 120 and couldn't stop losing. She told us about how she's having her clothes taken in, because they are all just falling off. And how horrible it is that she can't gain weight. I just had to roll my eyes.

gaining weight isnt easy for alot of people like myself lol i lost alot of weight even though i didnt want to at all(lost like 20 pounds without even noticing really) now iv only gaind 4 pounds in 3 months and was aiming for a pound a week

That's fabulous for you, and I realize that it's difficult for some people to not lose weight...but you probably wouldn't go on for 20 minutes about it (no joke) in front of obese people who are obviously there to make a healthy lifestyle change, now would you?

 yeah, that's annoying.

I cannot STAND it.  I have this friend who would actually GET OFFENDED when me or my friend called ourselves fat.  >:3  She's 75lbs and does not have an ED, just does not eat a lot/gain weight(sounds like an ED, i know >.<).  She would say how jealous she was of us, who were at least 20lbs over a healthy weight.  (we were in like, 6-8th grades)  It drove us mad.  I know she has a problem of her own, but really, to be offended about it.  Lame.

Oh! Yes that is annoying...however, I am naturally little (4'11'' 115 lbs) and I am so nervous of ending up with diabetes because it runs in my family. My family and my mother are always complaining about their weight and they get upset when I decide I would like to diet. I only want this because I don't want to die the way my grandmother did...with all the consequences of a preventable disease. I didn't feel that it was so important to care about what you eat because I've always had a fast metabolism. I'm inching toward 19 and I'm scared. I'm literally frightened that all the times my family told me "If you eat that it will catch up with you..." and the kind of food I eat as a college student....oh it gets me so nervous. So in defense of the skinny people, I do understand how it feels to gain weight and feel it on yourself because you're not necessarily used to it. I've been hearing my friends and my mother complaining about their weight for years and I know that it's just common courtesy to not talk about something that already makes people uncomfortable. That is so rude!

now...I hope I don't get in trouble for saying this!....but well...mmm, first, I do think it's annoying when already thin people say they're fat.  B/c well, duh, if they're thin they're certainly not fat!  HOWEVER, as someone who has been thin their whole life, , as well as a lot of people I know, can use the term "fat day" to describe a day when you're just feeling gross, a little heavier or bloated especially.  I think there's a major difference to saying "I'm fat" to "I feel fat".  Do I think it's exaggerating? yea....but how many times have you heard someone who's lost weight or someone on this site say "I feel so skinny!", or "I'm finally thin".  It's not offensive is it?  I think girls can definetely obsess on being skinny, but I think we're entitled to have days where we feel 'fat' in the sense heavier than usual.  Just my two cents!

YES. i go to a school where ALL the girls are thin and they sit there and criticize their bodies and i'm just kind of like... if they think theyre bad then what am i supposed to think?

it sucks.

I agree there is definitely a difference between saying "I'm fat" and "I feel fat". Lately I can say "I feel fat" because I was just feeling heavier on my own bones. You put my sentiments exactly into the right words I was looking for. LOL
