I don't find it annoying when people who are seemingly thin/healthy worry they look fat or are fat, because people need reassurance and a lot of people honestly see their body in a distorted fashion. I've suffered from body dysmorphia since I was 14 and spent two years as bulimic, my weights been up and down from 98lbs to 132lbs. I keep my weight problems away from friends, but if they had told me when I was bulimic "You're just fishing for compliments" "stop being annoying" it probably would've pushed me over board. Better to look out for people and be understanding rather than assume the worst.

I just wanted to say that there's actually a difference between being "healthy" and "skinny". Same goes for "unhealthy" and "fat". They're not the same thing and you can absolutely have one without the other. Goes both ways. That's what really frustrates me. Girls (and guys too) can look at themselves and see a warped version of themselves. It's just what happens. Better to be gentle and understanding about it than annoyed.
But when people make assumptions about others based on their perceived body type, that's when I get rightly ticked off.
Too many girls now adays think anorexia is in. Everyone has different body shapes and types and as long as they are trying to keep healthy , who cares if they are not 90 pounds. I don't understand it either and we can thank social media for telling these young girls they are fat if they are not a size 2. Some of them on the other hand just like to fish and stroke their egos.
I don't get annoyed by it, in this day and age women need reassurance from people.
With that said I have also witnessed women going overboard. I still don't find that annoying but I can see how that would be annoying to some people
I hate that girls make excuses to be heavy. Some people don't want to face reality that they are overweight. It doesn't do them any good telling them they are fine as is. I wish people would of called me out on my weight.

I am a skinny girl I am 5'7 and 120 pounds but i never think I am too fat. On the contrary I think I am under weight. I have a metabolism and thyroid issue that won't allow me to gain weight easily. I have to intake about 6000 calories to gain maybe a pound a month. now that might sound like a blessing but I dont think so. women with curves is attractive as hell. I don't understand why everyone wants to be a stick these days. Media or not we all need to know as women what is healthy and what isn't for our own body types. People are too concerned about the number... go eat, drink and have fun with life. Stop counting calories, points, and all that. Its ridiculous to me.
Yes in so far it makes me afraid it may push them towards anorexia.
I've seen some people who had it and it's not something you want to get!Yep. And girls who are like 5'2" and 175 pounds and say they're curvy not fat and they "carry it well." And then there's 5'8" 100 pound girls asking if they're fat. Its like no one knows what a healthy weight is.
Yes, they make me sick when they do that i think it's for attention
I'm 5'1 and 110 I think I'm a whale. I was bigger when I was younger and had it has fucked with me ever since. No matter how much weight I loose I'm never skinny enough, it makes me so angry
SO annoying! Sometimes they don't even think they're fat. They're just fishing for compliments -.-
I hardly care unless they are not really fat and are hot.
They're fishing for compliments, that's all.
Pain in my derriere.
