Teens- Does being fat make a person a loser? Read details...?

I asked my daughter this morning why the one shirt (without an undershirt) was a problem and pointed out that she used to wear things like that all the time. (She was throwing a fit because her one undershirt was not cleaned in enough time to pair it up with a nice form fitting t-shirt- it wasn't like anything showed through, it just wasn't the style she wanted)





My daughter said to me "Well that was when I was a loser" implying when she was heavier she was a loser. (She has lost 67 LBS in less than 9 months and is now 99.4 LBS at 5'2"- yes, she is anorexic)





My question- Do most teens think that heavy people are losers or is that just a side effect of the anorexia? What do you think?

I think she has a dilluted self image. Im a big girl, not to big but big none the less. I have always been popular and I have always had alot of friends. She has to learn its not what you look like that makes up who you are. She is obviously not comfortable with herself so you need to help her with that, and yes grouchiness is a side affect of anorexia just think if you haddent eaten in forever you'd be grouchy too lol. I would get her help eat disorders are soo hard to overcome by themselves, its not something that shes just going to grow out of. Make sure you tell her that after high school the world is sooo much different and people come in all different shapes and sizes just because your big doesnt make you a loser
Reply:Thats good you are trying to get her help.





almost all kids think that fat kids are dumb and uncool, its sad but true. Hopefully you have already gotten your daughter into treatment for anorexia? Not all problems can be solved on yahoo answers.
Reply:Unfortunately I judged people for their weight and I regret it.
Reply:I*m not a teen but no fat people are not loosers!!!!!!! They are people too!!!!!
Reply:well you child is obviously sick in her head... and you need to do something about it. I think people who starve to get thin are the REAL losers.. I think defining looks to whether they are a loser or not is just ridiculous. If you look outside at the real world, there are so many other things in life that makes a person a loser. Like having no self respect, having no brains, etc etc...
Reply:I personally do not think people who are obese are losers! That is such a generalization. Weight does not make you who you are, and people who think so need to meet more people and open their minds. Does how much you weigh change your personality? I think not.





I also think that this would be a side effect of anorexia, as anorexia makes one constantly think one is fat.
Reply:You stated "yes, she is anerexic", I wouldn't be asking strangers about what others think of heavier people, I would be getting her some help and fast.





Being fat or thin will be the least of your/her problem if this isn't delt with.
Reply:I would be more worried about her having anorexia than about her being a "loser."
Reply:No, just look at notorious B-I-G.
Reply:no!!
Reply:most ppl think that, but i dont. all that matters is if you like who you are if your healthy. i rather have curves then none at all.
Reply:The majority of teenaged girls..and most boys..do.





I think it has a lot to do with the media..and portraying skinny to be pretty..and flawless.





That's fake.





Beautiful comes in all different shapes and sizes,real talk.
