Why do girls generally HIGHLY sensitive when it comes to weight?

I mean, if you wanted to, you could lose weight you know.
If you wanted to, you can pay no attention to the nagging insecure thoughts and just accept who you are, no one REALLY wants someone that doesn't accept themselves.

title needs 'are' instead of 'do'

Since when were the girls in the mags set as a standard, why are you bul****ting. everyone knows those girls bodies have been airbrushed, edited etc. those are idealistic yet unrealistic bodies.

Why was my post warned deleted

Because women clearly have no self-discipline. Want to lose weight? Put down that god damn fork. You will only lose weight when you start eating less, that is the most effective way to lose weight other than exercise, which I feel is nowhere near as effective.

You just have to make sure that your diet is still nutritious and that you don't eat too little, that should be the most difficult part of dieting, not finding the willpower to go through with the diet or trying to lose weight without feeling hungry from time to time. What I would recommend doing is finding out how many calories somebody your age should be consuming and find ways of roughly sticking to this level of eating.

Also, don't give me this rubbish about women constantly being made to feel insecure, like men aren't made to feel insecure and are expected to be tall and good looking, something which they genuinely can't do anything about and which women attack men for complaining about, when its implications are also far greater. Look on the internet, there are actually men spending hundreds of hours of their lives pointlessly pursuing ways of increasing their height. To them, losing weight and gaining muscle is a walk in the park.

Social pressure probably. It's not just weight, people also want to be the best when it comes to looks, style, intelligence, degrees etc. etc.

Damn, I agree. I don't see why you have been negged for essentially saying acknowledging the facts that weight loss happens by not overeating, and women constantly say they want men taller than they are, which means that men have drawn the short straw in what is wanted by the other sex.

Last July I went on medication which increased my appetite big time. So many people who are fat say that they are fat due to a reason. *raises hand* look, look, I've got a reason. Probably most people who go on the medication gain weight.. but you know what? It's still my fault that I put a bit on (still in healthy BMI range). And I agree with you about eating > exercise - I do no exercise but am controlling my eating until I get to my pre-medication weight.

What have learned from this?
1. No excuse. If I gain weight, it's because of lack of self-control. Some people are lucky and don't need to put as much self-control in, but at the end of the day, that's all it comes down to.
2. Losing weight takes self-discipline, but it happens. You can see the effects of it. Any insecurity about that can be dealt with with relative ease. My insecurities about being 5'4 however? hmm.

I proably got negged for saying 'put down that god damn fork' lol. Perhaps self-discipline has a greater impact than I considered. Your case is probably exceptional, having to deal with a sudden increase in appetite, I was refering in my posts to people who are otherwise perfectly healthy but who want to comfort eat etc. and basically, not suffer any consequences because of it. Although I make 'rant' posts like this, I have been posting less and I have actually been feeling happy in my time at university. Just make sure you don't end up worrying about the social aspects of you life.

This is so true, people need to just get on with it. If you really want to make something happen and loose weight you will do it. it's not easy it takes discipline and commitment but that is all just a test of your will and disire to achieve what you want. Like i said if you are a big girl( I like big girls btw) and you want to be slim you can do it, so there's no use blaming slim girls for you feeling shyt.

We are all insecrure about something but we all dont complain about it whenever we get the chance
