I kind of agree with you Marie, but some people look perfectly fine and they're think "ooh, i'm so fat, boohoo, cry" and it gets annoying after awhile, because its just a selfish act of attention. It's different if it's an eating disorder; an ED is a mental problem that people need help with. And some people aren't overweight; they may even be underweight, but they just have too much fat on their bodies anyway. I knew someone who was underweight but his body fat percecntage was too high. Why? He lacked muscle on his body. That's why he was underweight. So that can be the case sometimes with normal weight people, but most of the time, its just someone being selfish.
