Why do people get upset with me when I flex in the mirror at the gym and comment on how big I'm getting?

Honey, be yourself. I am also over weight and I consider myself a Diva among Divas and I carry myself that way. I let my personality speak for my self. People who are turned off because of your weight have low self esteem. Your weight has not direct bearing on who you are as a person and what kind of friend you will be. You are still the same inside big or skinny.

Lol that's funny! Well, it's really no one's business what's going on with your body.  Just say, "Don't worry about it, let's go play kickball!" Change the subject or be direct and tell them it's personal! Giving out too much information about yourself makes you come off as not valuing yourself.

This is your body and I feel it should look beautiful if you can maintain a good curvaceous figure, as you put it. I think you sound gorgeous !!!!! Keep it up. If others have a problem with your fine and graceful body then they seem to be jealous or perhaps, envious.\n\nDo not bother about their views since it is your body and you have it great.\n\nBest of everything for you in your life.\n\nabnash25@yahoo.com

The only logic behind it is people will always happily tell you that you look great because they are making sure you dont look better than them. Its a fickle old world and will never change but at least you can get yourself wiser to the fact.\nMe? I always tell the truth no matter how much it offends people because i actually get more fun out of that. (instead of pissing up their backs) and because i'm evil :)

your not fat dear.Ever think your mother may be jealous of you a little? mothers can be harsh now a days.  your esteem depends on the person you want to be,not some fallacy someone else has in their mind.if you believe your esteem relies on others compliments,you shall not have ahappy life.

Whether you are skinny or fat no one should make fun of your size. By your measurements, you are not fat. Don't worry about your size, as long as you're confident with yourself you shouldn't worry about what others say. If you have a problem with what you're boyfriend is saying, talk to him. If he has an issue with your weight then he doesn't deserve a great girl like you!

Hey, don't worry about what other people think! Your weight is your issue to deal with, not theirs! And I don't think most people will judge you by your weight anyways..besides, there are plenty of other people there too busy worrying about themselves! Just get the courage to get out there, and you'll see that it doesn't matter! Have fun..and good luck!

I can't stand it when people say "ideal" weight.  that's what causes people to be anorexic!!  It's all based on frame size and whether you are fit or not.

I help people in the gym that are overweight with exercise and dieting tips. Why?  They are motivated enough to join a gym & they show initiative.  My group of friends always do that and shun ignorant people because they make us look arrogant and insensitive. Most of us started working out because we were insecure and can relate to people that might not feel good about themselves. Any woman that is comfortable with herself and is fulfilled is sexy.

First don't worry about what others think.  If you try and define yourself in anothers terms then you never will be happy.  Some people might think you are heavy but I don't I think that's a great combination of height and weight.  You though should be happy with who you are first then find someone that is just as happy with you as you are.  If you aren't happy and barring doing anything unsafe then work toward making what changes you think you need.  The reason you never will be happy if you try and define yourself in anothers eyes or terms is that once you conform to their idea of perfect then they will always find something else wrong.  Also you are attempting to conform to what you THINK they are thinking or what you perceive they are thinking which is usually always wrong.  I think you look, sound, great .. I bet you are and hopefully you'll feel that way also.

Don't worry about it. Really. If you are happy and you know you're not anorexic,it really doesn't matter what other people think. I look at it that they're probably just jealous. Have fun! Go shopping!  :)

Some call it the "grass is always greener" effect, and it's well noted in human phsycology.  Some always want what they don't have--and are never satisfied by what they've already got.  Many with curly hair want straight hair, while others with straight hair want curl.  Some overweight people yearn to be skinny or athletic, while many underweight people wish to gain weight.  Another level are those whose material possessions are never quite what they'd like to have:  Someone with last year's 42" plasma screen television wants to have this year's 52" model.  Witness those individuals who feel that they have to buy a new vehicle at once just as soon as they pay off the one they've got.  \n\nIt's a restless mentality, and often has the serrious undertone of insecurities.  Often, these people feel that they'll be better accepted if they change their appearance--after all, they haven't reached the social status they crave by the way they look now, right?  So maybe if they change one...more...thing...  Or they think they'll finally find happiness with that top-of-the-line stereo system--but once they don't, they have to buy something else until at last they find that one...magical...thing...\n\nIs the attitude inappropriate?  Well... it depends on which side of the fence you're on.  If you're in the business of selling things that change a person's appearance, it's good news!  If your business is selling this year's hottest whatever, it's great news!  If you're the one looking for happiness... it's a hollow way to live.  More bodyweight is more bodyweight--you're still you.  More curl is more curl, so what?  You've got that new television--but you're so busy comparing it to the new model that just came out, you never watch it.  \n\nFunny, though, how we all slip into that groove once in a while!  Even if you're essentially happy, sometimes you find yourself feeling like you can be even happier if you change your haircolor... add a few more pounds of muscle tissue to your frame... get that cherry-red sports car... buy Queensryche's newest album... whatever.  It's really just a phase we all go through.

not everyone is, you probably just feel that way. I was skinny all my life till about 2 years ago, and it doesn't bother me. If it bothers other people i don't care, they are not involved in my life and know nothing about me. You shouldn't worry about what other people say.

If you feel the need to make fun of another human being, then I feel it means you are unhappy with yourself.  One cannot possibly get any feeling of accomplishment when they demean another and make them feel worthless or less than.  People who criticize the overweight have unresolved issues of their own and belong in therapy.  It matters not how or why a person is overweight (that is their own personal battle), what really matters is being kind and compassionate to others and you will more often then not; get the same in return.

I would have a better self-esteem. Then I wouldn’t feel bad when I examine myself in the mirror.  Now its "Ough, my butt is bigger than it should be, or my breast are not as big as they should be, and I cant get my hair looking the way I want it to look, and I don’t have super model legs, why cant I have perfect skin, I just don’t look "girly" enough to be taken seriously as a woman"...blah, blah, blah and blah.  Sometimes I cry.  \nI wish I could see myself the way others see me, they all say I’m this or that, and I just see, me.
