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.
It'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...
Is 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.
Funny, 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.

There may be quite a few motives she might want to assert she's fat. One reason may be that she honestly thinks she's fat. if it really is the case then she really has an ingesting affliction. those with anorexia imagine they're fat even even as they're very tiny. that is area of that affliction. the different motives may be that she doesn't honestly imagine she's fat yet: a) She thinks females are envisioned to call themselves fat so she does that to in good structure it; b) She's mean and he or she calls herself fat to make her friends who're larger than her (well-known sized) experience like they're very fat; or c) She's fishing for compliments. She extremely needs to hearken to all of her friends say "Oh, no! you're literally not fat. you're SO skinny!"

There are a few possibilities. The people above me named a few of them. But there's another one: It's possible that these skinny people are actually kind of flabby but look skinny to you because either you're fat or are used to seeing other people who are. Just because the "skinny" person is surrounded by fat people doesn't mean they should lower their standards for themselves.

people like that really PI** me off.
they make people who really are big think that they are cows or something. what it is, is they are self conscience.
they have lack of faith in themselves for whatever reason and yet they have a lot going for them that the only thing that they can find to draw attention to themselves is saying that they are fat. I would LUV to put a 200 lb fat suit on a girl that is about say 95-100 always saying they are fat and see if they can tell a difference.
It sux! so if you can get through a day of that and go back to the way you were before,I don't think they would ththink that anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They have body dysmorphic disorder. Basically, their MIRROR is flawed.
I read Uma Thurman used to have this disorder...
