OK, I have a question! I have a friend here at work who is obsessed with the "skinny people" around her saying how fat they are. So being that all of us are different weights ranging from the skinny at goal people to me I wanted to hear your opinion on this.
Some background and I willl say this to try to not make her as psycho as we all think she is
She is overweight, had gastric bypass several years ago, lost quite a bit but not as much as they told her she would. Never changed her eating habits. Eats less of the crap but still only crap. We work with a group of women who are constantly talking about how fat they are even though I look at them and think they are skinny. So my friend gets upset everytime thay start on this and says that if they look at their 135 pound body and see a fat woman, what do they think when they look at her 235 pound body. She thinks that they must think she is completely disgusting and ugly. I have tried to tell her that when I see someone the exact same size/weight/height as me I don't think OMG she is so fat--however when I look in the mirror I see a me as being fat.
So anyway....what is your opinion. Do you view others differently than you view yourrself? Is our self image way worse than the way we see others?
