obsession with weight

i always notice how people are so obsssessed with weight. everyone is worried about being skinny and stuff and especially girls. i myself do it i mean i have lost 10 pounds in the last 2 months and i just want to lose 5 more i am a 100 pounds which isn't taht much. but i am so crazy about it and i am still better than some other girls. some of them dont eat, others r bulimic and i waa thinking what causes this obssession with weight. is it our own thoughts, is it our society or our parents or someone else. i wanna know what causes this supreme obssession that women have with their weight. for me i look at my mom's pictures and she was 90 pounds in college and i am 100 2 years before college. so its almost like i feel like i am fat and i dont want to be. i also feel that the media shows beauty is if u r extremely tall and skinny. how do u guys feel. do u obssess over weight and if yes or no why?

Ya Zara i obsesses over weight too . I hate dieting so i gym out to burn caleroies . I am always concious and ask my hubby 100 times a day if i look fat .

Its mostly to do with seeing skinny people on T.V , and then when one sees skinny girls around its a snow ball effect .........i want to be thin too ...........seeing me thin the next person wants to be thin too .

Although it is important to have a healthy weight , we are obssesed with looking skinny and pretty . Its a lot to do with vanity . 😊

well! Being fat is not a big deal........
But yeh ppl r very conce. abt thiz thing...........but really am not.......I dont care wht others say if am fat(but am nto fat) Am, a Healthy person and i dont feel like redu. my wieght ...........

im obsessed with weight, im fat! i hate it, it does so much to yr confidence 😭 😳 well, im not as fat as some ppl but i am fat, and its horrible

yeah a lot of people are obsessed with their weight. people just want to fit in with others and don't want to look bad for their friends. its got to do with their social things 😉

see this is what i am talking about why the hell do we care so much why is it so important that ur weight starts messing with ur confidence and stuff.

You gotta see my sis -in law not just obsessing about her weight but commenting on mine . It throws my self confidence so completely . 😭

And i as per the chart i am not even a pound over weight . I am on the upper limit(125- 132 pounds) of what should be my ideal weight on the scale as per Height & age and BMI . 😭 😭

awwww 🤗 we are not fat just well covered.

aparna (i am more comfortable w/ calling u by ur name )and goth princess(sorry i dont know ur name) u guys desi women have booty. we just weren't built to be skinny like other races. we are made to be covered well. i constantly feel fat and i am not. did u actually know that when women look at themselves they overestimate their hips and stomachs by 20% while these same women can estimate the lengths and widths and depths of boxes very easily. first what u see when look at urself isnt necessarily true. then i hate the fact that people r always telling us to be skinny. like my friend says that her aunt says karishma u r too smart, and too dark and too fat u need to lose weight and stuff otherwise no one will marry u. and that is just beyond disgusting. i just feel that society puts too much pressure on us and it ain't fair.
