Exactly...rather that than have an eating disorder deaths door14 Posted at 3:29 am on Dec. 17, 2008 it sounds like she's kidding. Stand Up Posted at 3:31 pm on Dec. 16, 2008 Depends, what is fat for you? Because like seriously. Your definition of fat and my definition of fat may vary. Perhaps she is secure about herself, unlike others.

They know they're not in the best shape, and I'm sure privately, they feel really bad about it, but nobody wants to come off as one of those types that just whines about being out of shape, so they try and convince themselves that they're not, at least around other people. cherryD Posted at 9:36 pm on Dec. 15, 2008 She might be making a joke. Never considered that? I'm like 130lbs, 5'5, and sometimes I say that, but I don't mean it. But the way you claim it, she sounds like she's serious. But really, I doubt anyone is really that air-headed. ironicdreams Posted at 9:36 pm on Dec. 15, 2008 I guess it's the same concept as anorexics thinking they are fat? Maybe to her, that is skinny. Just because society says it's not "skinny" doesn't mean she agrees. scandalousx3 Posted at 9:35 pm on Dec. 15, 2008 ohh they know theyre fat. lol 9 Volt Posted at 9:34 pm on Dec. 15, 2008 She can be big AND be looking good. Trust. I've seen some big girls who look sexier than some skinny girls. Now obviously her saying things that make her act like she's skinny is dumb, but at least she's comfortable with her body :> aleiram51 Posted at 9:34 pm on Dec. 15, 2008 it's because everyone's always nice to fat people.  maybe one day you should just be like: "she said skinny, how does that have anything to do with you?" i have fat friends but they aren't delusional about it.
