...and ask if you were fat? LOL...I was just thinking about this...and I am guilty of doing this...Strangly, the other person never sees the others as fat...they just see them as thinner than themselves, whether it is true or not...

You know, I see these curvy girls with out any bones showing and think, That is PERFECT! Yet I know when I look like that, I cry every night because I am "fat...."

When did a size 3/4 or 5/6 become fat? Seriously....

Are you thinking of visiting again? Stop yourself.You know how it is with ed. Your image of your own body shape is the issue, it's not that you don't know what fat or thin is. It just warps your mind.

Please don't go there again. It will suck you in and you know how dangerous this is. I don't see others as fat either. Actually I don't care about others weighing more or less than me. I used too. But for me it's not a competition, it's just a pure evil illness.
