- corin_ 15y agoAs a fat person, I ask: how?? Seriously, the idea that I could have just not realised I'm fat baffles me.
- Mz 15y agoBody image isn't always accurate. Surely you have heard of anorexia? Clip from white chicks about that (opposite of a fat person thinking they are not, but similar principal I guess): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Gy4xMgArmk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Gy4xMgArmk (dressing room scene -- possibly NSFW)
- saturdaysaint 15y agoBody dymorphia is a very real phenomenon, although it's commonly seen the other way around. As a formerly fat person, I have to say that I'd go long periods where I'd be willfully oblivious to my weight. The occasional hurtful comment and/or painfully bad photograph really did jar me into action.
