I've seen slim women that that complain that they look fat all the time. Big time issues of insecurities. I just don't see any logic for a woman that is about 100 lbs or even 110 lbs that want to lose weight because they think fat. Even those that are 120 lbs or 130 lbs. What can you say about this? Do you think you're fat even though you're not?
A friend of mine quoted: "i don't think i'm fat. when women say they are fat even if they are not, it's another word of saying please compliment me."

y)ur friend is right. When thin women say they are fat its just a ploy to get you to say they aren't. However, I'm fat, 60 lbs overweight, and I am trying to lose it but not succeeding. There are times when I would like to walk up and slap those women who weigh less than is healthy and refuse to eat anything because they might get fat, or they won't be able to wear a size 0 American

I don't know about "most women," but I speak from personal experience when I say that some days, no matter how pretty people think you look, you just FEEL fat and ugly.
I used to extraordinarily thin. After I had my son three years ago, I put on a few pounds that I can never quite keep off. It makes me depressed and angry at myself because I'm used to being the perfect size and fitting into everything. Now things bunch up on me in the wrong places, feel too tight or accentuate less flattering areas of my body. It makes me feel yucky.
If you're a guy, the best thing to do is remind her that for the most part, despite any percieved flaws, she still looks damn good and that nobody's really looking at the stuff she thinks is ugly. It's direct, it's balanced and it's honest without telling her she's crazy or invalidating her feelings.
