I think it's weird. My girlfriend weighs 155 pounds and is five feet, six inches tall. She thinks she's huge. I admit that maybe she is a little chubby, not it's not that noticeable, and I think she's weird for thinking she's so big. Although I'll usually just tell her that she's not fat when she ask, lol, otherwise I know she would be really mad even if I told her she's a little chubby. My brother's girlfriend is five feet, three inches tall and weighs 125 pounds though and that's pretty skinny. She too thinks she's fat though, haha. I don't even see how that could be in her head though, lol. There's even other girls I know that look extremely skinny and even they think that they're fat. If you're a girl, do you think that you're fat? Do you know a lot of girls that think they're fat? Even when they're kind of boney.

Hi Powerbrokenape, This is a very interesting discussion!I am a girl, and yes, i do think i am fat! I always ask my hubby, "do i look fat", and he always said " no, honey, you look great!" lol The most comment setense i say during the weekend is "oh, no, i think i gain some weight!", because we eat alot in weekend, we have a family big dinner on Sunnday night! I think it's true that all girls never think they are skinny enough, they always think they should be more and more skinny! lol.. What about your guys? Do you like skinny girl or chubby?

I admit I'm fat and I really need to lose weight. Girls always want to look beautiful and nice. That's why many women like me starve themselves to make thinner but it is not healthy to lose weight. Girls always figure conscious unlike men.

girls say they are fat to hear "NOOOOO, you're perfect honey, absolutely beautiful, not fat at allll!" Back to the time that I was 100 lbs 5.5 feet, and my boyfriend wanted me to gain some weight. I ate a lot, and one day he said "Honey, you look fatter" Oh my God! Why did he have to use the word "Fatter"? this word is a big no-no, don't ever call your girl fat even if you just want to compliment her.

Hello. :-) I am 5'3" in height and weights 110 lbs. This, as you can imagine is not fat at all. As a matter of fact,I don't think I am fat. I often wish I'll gain a few more pounds, though.lol. But, I know when I am becoming bigger and fatter because my pants and shirts won't fit. (I usually wear body fit shirts and I'm always having a problem in the bustline part when I'm gaining weight). My sister is huge. She is 5'4" and weights 125-130 lbs. She knows she's huge.LOL

me? yes im fat! i stands only 5 ft. and my weight is 135 lbs!!! but im not worried if i am fat..or my look is not pleasing to the eyes of men! what im worried of is my health. since im fat , i consider myself as overweight because my BBI ( basal body index) is above normal to my height and weight. so i have to reduce a little... i donot know why some women always telling they are fat eventhough they're not...

I know some girls who say they are getting fat so that others will say that its not true. Those kind of people just want attention. Maybe their idea of normal weight is of those supermodels that walk on the runway.

Maybe to YOU she isnt but to HER she's obviously feeling self concious about and feeling fat...Especially if she is young it most likely is an issue and even more so if many of her friends are thinner or within their proper wt range etc...I imagine too that your gf feels even "fatter" when she is menstrual...I can totally relate... Do ALL girls/women think they are fat or overweight though? not at all..I know many women who are very comfortable with their bodies and who are extremely fit and trim...

No I don't think I'm fat, mostly because I'm not. I can understand where these thoughts would come from though. It may sound cliche, but girls are under immense pressure from a young age. This is because in today's sociey we count on the media (such as television) to show us the world, and in the media's faulted shallow definition of the world you can't be right or be happy unless you're thin.

i am a girl. and i think i am fat. well, comparing to my old pictures, i am fatter than before. we wanted to be sexy all the time. i felt good when i can wear clothes that does not show my fatty side,lol. i hate it when i can't wear my pants 2 years ago. i am 5 feet and 2 inches tall, 155 pounds. so i am really fat. it is very noticeable. and with my height and weight, i am really fat.

Not all girls believe they are fat. I am. I am over 200 lbs - so I know its true and I am working on fixing it. However I have two friends that are not and they dont think they are. One even said that she had gained five pounds but wasnt worried about it because she didnt look any different. There are girls that think they have to be a certain size or weight but there are others that see the truth and are not fooled by TV and Magazines that show all those "perfect" girls.
