For reasons I will never understand completely, some women like to have "social conversations" that involve putting down their bodies, especially complaining about being fat. These statements often have no basis in reality, because let's be truthful, if she were REALLY fat, the last thing she would be doing would be announcing it!
Can you imagine that? "Gosh, I'm so fat, I've gained 50 pounds in the last two years." Oh no, no one would be talking about that! "I can really feel these love handles, and I when I look down can't see my toes anymore." Nope. Would be a very embarrassing conversation for everyone.
The only hope is not to play this conversational game and to switch the topic to something else. Kindly.
