I do it, I actually suffered from bulimia, but I wonder why so many girls AND guys that are thin have complained about being fat?

i agree it's s body image thing, but i've got a thin frame and when i gain any weight i notice it straight away. while i don't actively seek out reassurance that i'm, it can make me feel 'fat' even though i should know better!

A lot of people do it for attention and to get reassurance from others that they're not fat. . . But mostly for the attention. Some people actually have serious body image problems but most of the time when someone complains about being fat it's just for attention.

Because they still think they're fat. As a former bulimic, you should know that many people suffer from a distorted body image. Some just aren't as extreme as what you had experienced.
My sister is 5'1 and weighs 103 while I'm 40 lbs overweight. She still thinks she's fat and moans about it all the time. I just want to smack the hell out of her sometimes.

Sometimes this is caused by a mental dissorder where the person feels compelled beyond all logic into a behaviour. In this case, it's being thin.

Most likely has to do with body image. Being a mia, you would understand that your body image is distorted to the point of not knowing what you really look like. It's the same with these people, they are most likely dealing with the same issues.

because they see fat people and dont want to be like that and they look at skinny famous people and compare them to themselves and they have image problems so they see problems with their body even if their bone dead skinny.or if they have a 1 inch length of a little roll on their stomach they say they are fat..it's a image problem..men have instilled or parents or friends and peers have put in them..if your not perfect ..your no good.and that is not true at all..

Because they have nothing else to whine about and want attention and want to hear people say "OMG you're NOT fat"... that builds their self-confidence then they silently think about all the people they are secretly tricking and smile.

Thin girls: To hear you say that they are not fat.
Thin guys: Cannot remember one saying it, maybe to get your attention 'cause he likes you?

because, although I'm considered technically thin (93 lbs 5'1) I am too fat for my personal liking. "Fat" is relative.
