Also, all she said is she wants to lose the flab, she never said anything about losing weight! why do you girls jump on her about it?
I didn't jump on her at all, but I did voice concern. If you read everything she has said about herself, you will see why none of us have given her advice on how to lose fat (lose weight). I've seen the workings of BDD and other body image disorders and I fully believe she's a prime candidate for it. And I cannot in good conscience help someone whom I believe is battling with something that stems a little deeper than just what's on the surface. She's obsessive/compulsive with cardio and speaks about herself as though she's 300 pounds or more. There's a problem there and I'm not the only person who's noticed it. Someone else mentione she left another board for the SAME reason. She needs help, but not the kind any of us can give her here.
