ok i have this relly good friend who always calls herself fat, just because shes not as skinny as the anorexic girls on tv, and it relly bugs me i keep telling her that shes not fat and that i dont like it when she talks like that but she still dose. how can i talk to her and make her see shes not fat at all

If all she does is sit around and talk about how fat she is (I hate when people do this with a passion) then say something like "Well I don't think you're fat at all but if you really want to lose a few pounds then maybe you should start working out." Just talking about how fat she is isn't going to make her any thinner so why not suggest she do something about it?

Most girls just say things like that for attention and complements. After she says she's fat she hears all these things like, "OMG!! NO!! You look great!!" And if you tell her to actually work out or eat better, she'll stop. People that are serious about being fat don't announce it to the world.

But, if she's serious then you might want to suggest working out with her and watch her (make sure she's still eating and not starving herself).
