I think it is nice that you are concerned for her. Sometimes girls say they are fat to fish for compliments. But unfortunately the crappy sex obsessed world that we live in does tend to give young women low self-images.
Treat your girl with respect. Always speak kindly and compliment her often. A healthy supportive relationship can go a long way to helping her get past her low self-esteem.
Society is so obsessed with weight, not to mention the celebrity circuit being obsessed with size zero. it's very difficult for a girl to accept that anything above a size 8 is acceptable when the whole world is going crazy for a size zero. When the likes of 'girls aloud' complain that they felt huge when they first became famous at a size 10 and they had 'thunder things', how are other girls supposed to believe they're not fat, especially when the media strongly implies otherwise.
Yeah, I have no idea why girls think they're fat. I think all girl do unless their body was like built small shape. But basiclly yeah all girls think that.
uhmm well I'm not exactly sure but you could just keep telling her she's beautiful and back it up with reasons like the whole soccer thing. And maybe it mgiht depend WHERE she thinks she's fat.
Keep her away fromlosing weight since I'm sure she's perfectly thin seeing her height and weight.
BMI's also prove that you're not fat too.
Try to make her feel that your telling the truth and she will end up realizing it eventually
hmm you just need to push her in the right direction. i heard alot of kids like taking the laxatives to loose wieght. nothing says skinny like a good watery dump.
i think its just engrained in all girls heads...as she gets older it won't be as big of an issue...but it will always be there.
many do it to hear people say that their not fat & feel good.
