i do the exact same thing. one of my friends constantly talks about her weight every other day on fb statuses and how thin and tiny she is. i weigh about 10+ lbs less than she does and am 2 inches taller than her too, but for some reason it makes me feel fatter than her, idk :/

i only hang out with guys recently. as i dont have anyone around to compare myself with it doesnt bother me. i usually lie and add 5 kilos to my weight so the numbers dont sound too dramatic in case someone is asking. duhhh i think i gained those 5 anyway during the last 5 weeks

One of my friends is absolutley tiny. I don't know her weight, but my goodness, shopping with her is one major trigger. Another of my friend's casually mentioned her weight, and I got so focused on it, even after she had long forgotten the conversation.
Like somebody above mentioned, I always look at people's clothes sizes if I can. I don't know why, I just like to know.

I don't really have too many people I actually call true friends... I guess three, maybe: my husband and two female friends. I don't compare myself to my husband obviously (and he's just a tad on the heavy side), and one of the females is a good deal overweight and the other is super fit (she has to be for her job as a paramedic) but also very curvy and definitely quite a good deal heavier than I am. I used to pay more attention to other people's weights in middle and high school, when there were a lot of thin girls who still had the fast metabolism of a young kid and some of whom were still going through puberty and such.
I pay a shitload of attention to random strangers' bodies, though. I guess I don't care exactly what their weight is, but I ogle really skinny girls like crazy. :\ I always wonder what I look like to other people... I'm not sure my own perception is always the best.Last edited by bittergreen; 07-31-2012 at 02:40 PM.

I don't get too caught up with other peoples' weight but I always try to make out who's skinnier than me in the room. It's stupid, really.

Especially if said classmates are really really thin. There's this girl in my class who so so thin. Even though she wears heavy sweaters and jeans to cover it up, you can still tell, because her collarbones stick out, and her face is so narrow and knuckles so bony. I always stare at her like some weirdo, because I try to memorize all her features, hoping one day I'll have them.

To be honest, I'm always afraid of this with other girls. I always think that thin, pretty girls are comparing my weight to theirs, sizing me up and thinking they're better than me, so I get paranoid and stay the hell away from other women as MUCH as possible. Now knowing that thin girls actually think this way just proves it! lol
