SuddenlyFem answered Friday October 29 2004, 3:56 pm: When you live your whole life and never think you are fat, and then all of a sudden someone tells you that your fat, even if its a joke, it kind of sets your self esteem back a notch. When your ex joked about your weight it made you obviously think about it. The comment was something new to you. Have confidence in yourself and know that your not fat. Forget about what he said to you. [ SuddenlyFem's advice column | Ask SuddenlyFem A Question ]
samgirl04 answered Friday October 29 2004, 2:46 pm: you're not fat,don't let anyone ever say that you are. Billions of people out there can't even DREAM of having a figure like yours. You're to self cautious. Just breathe. Relax. Have a good time. Its not all always about whats on the outside, the inside counts too. I know you've been told that millions of times... but consider it. Instead of waisting all your precious moments trying to perfect yourslef, do something that makes you happy or something. Anything. Help some poor starving kids. You are who you are

PresleyPizzelanti answered Friday October 29 2004, 8:08 am: if youre THAT insecure and by just ONE joke you start to flip out then you are really low on confidence. confidence is EVERYTHING. if you just dont want to get bigger then just keep eating the same amount of stuff and you wont gain weight. but if you lose more weight you'll look really digusting like some of those girls that are so skinny people make fun of just as much as fat girls. so think of it that way, its not like youre trying to trick yourself, because its so true. besides u shouldn't care about what ur ex says... who cares about him anyway [ PresleyPizzelanti's advice column | Ask PresleyPizzelanti A Question ]
Sweetie101 answered Friday October 29 2004, 2:01 am: Brittany,
You sound very sweet and your probly a skinny girl that just gets self conscience every once and a while, and it happens to everyone! dont worry and you kno what .. if your x-boyfriend wantz to make jokes like that then hes not worth time even as a friend because thatz how ppl get brought down and especially girls. I kno how you feel ive been that way sometimes, but when you feel that way you just have to think of all the great things about u! Never get down on yourself because that just gives other people reason to get down on you! and you dont want that... trust me your probly very pretty.. and you just have to stay positive and everything will get better dont worry!! :-D [ Sweetie101's advice column | Ask Sweetie101 A Question ]
PerkyPeacock answered Thursday October 28 2004, 11:47 pm: go to disney world. people there weigh three and a half times as much as you. and they're the average americans. darlin', i'm sure you're beautiful as is, heck, maybe you could stand to gain some weight. but please don't worry 100 pounds is plenty skinny. i'd worry about bone mass if i was that tiny... if you can't stop worrying, pleas seek real help!
best of luck [ PerkyPeacock's advice column | Ask PerkyPeacock A Question ]
Pink_Flamingo answered Thursday October 28 2004, 11:03 pm: You sound like you might have a slight bit of an eating disorder =/ your at a skinny yet healthy weight now and its a good weight to stay at. Anyone who wears 0 size pants is skinny ;) Dont concentrate on your weight so much. You might try exercising just to relieve stress. If you still feel fat see a therapist.

xXxpinky615xXx answered Thursday October 28 2004, 9:57 pm: Wow, you're exboyfriend is an asshole. You're not fat are you insane? When you find yourself thinking "OMG I'm fat.." Change it and be like, no I'm thin and I'm pretty, what he said was wrong. It sounds corny but it really works you have to keep saying it to yourself because when you say it you believe it but when other people say it, it's not as believable. I always used to think that I was ugly and my self confidence level was at 0. I kept saying to myself little by little, okay, I guess I am SORTA pretty, but then after a while I'd think... wow I am pretty. And then you'll feel so much better about yourself. Try doing that. I'm sure you're gorgeous and thin and should be a modle! Hope this helped. [ xXxpinky615xXx's advice column | Ask xXxpinky615xXx A Question ]
xo_Ali answered Thursday October 28 2004, 9:57 pm: You are NOT fat! You just need to make sure you know that. There are a variety of reasons you could think your fat. Ranging from the media, to your ex. I think I'm fat, too. I know I'm not, and I'm biffer than you! Seriously though, I know by experience, that if a thin girl keeps complaining they're fat, people might get annoyed. No offence but you sound REALLY skinny. And if you say your fat, girls that are bigger than you might start thinking they're fat, even if they're not. Just be conscous of that. And learn to like yourself the way you are. Good luck. I hope you realize how pretty [I'm sure] you are. [ xo_Ali's advice column | Ask xo_Ali A Question ]
