I do not want to teach my young daughter bad habits so I keep quiet on days when I feel fat or less than "ideal".

Is your wait really the same size as your hips? Thanks for reminding me, I have to stop at the store and buy some pears.

I find that this is more of a problem with women that are not accomplished and thus have no other way by which to value themselves.

It usually goes, "I feel fat. I know I'm not fat, but I feel it right now."

Yeah, I'm pretty obsessed with my weight.

I wasted too much energy in college obsessing over my weight. And I was thin then! Too sad. If only I had focused on other things!

My friends and I talk about it a lot. I am almost 25 and I have noticed changes that i do not like one bit and yes it can be very upsetting

Even if you don't actualy verbalize it, doens't mean that you're not thinking about it. Women of all sizes are trying to reach the ideal.

I'm also Hispanic and being curvy is considered the ideal. I do notice a lot of my friends who are Caucasian have big body issues.

If women were trained to value themselves as something other than a commodity, their self-esteem would not be effected by their BMI.

Yes-even though we are thin, being in our mid-thirties & still being social with women in their 20s brings up a lot of insecurities!

Don't ever really talk about my weight. I consider myself confident at 5'5 155lbs. But as most women, we sometimes need reassurance.

I get bored whenever that's brought up: only means a lack of self-esteem and confidence. Food is pleasure that should be taken moderately.

Haha, it isn't just college aged women who engage in "fat talk," listen at the door to any mens locker room and you'd be surprised.

Right. Because being fat is the worst thing a person could do. People need to get self confidence already.

*belch*

I'm no size 2, but I'm also done with the ridiculous fascination the country spurs in folks, to constantly engage in self-degradation. F IT

I have better things to talk to my friends about

Joking. The reality is that most kids and Americans are overweight. So the fat talk isn't just talk.

Woman are made to feel this way by the perfect image created by "the fashion industry" and the media. You are what you are. Accept yourself

Occasionally. Then again, I'm a bellydancer, and we're taught to embrace having curves as the feminine ideal. Much healthier attitude.

How about, "None of the above- My weight is no one else's business." I don't like to talk about how thin I am, let alone how fat.

It was my husband of 20 years who harped on it. I look back at pictures and I was pretty trim, but he told me all the time that I was fat.

Only with my fat friends. It's sort of comforting to talk about it with them. I don't with skinny friends because they don't really get it.

She was not following any of the diet rules and showed disrespect for the people who wanted to be there!!! What a JERK!!!!

Been there & done that. Dropped 4.8 lbs. one week, 1.8 the next & gained .4 lbs the third. Only thing I changed was to increase my activit

The people on this show always have multiple issues. Things like medication affect weight changes.

She seemed so ... fake.

she probably snuck food in between meals, bad thing to do ...no schnacking folks. glad she's gone though

The Red team does not appear to be all that sincere in their weight loss efforts. I'm glad that Melissa went home - ends that drama.

I know exactly what she is going through. Sometimes even though I eat right and exercise I still gain weight. Maybe it's hereditary.

I think she was "playing" at losing weight. Her heart wasn't in it.
