Answers:
In addition to the other answers, which I pretty much agree with, I think there is also an aspect of control!. For example, if I'm bummed out about my job or my relationship with my boyfriend, those are not situations I can entirely control!. But if I obsess about my weight and fitness, it's mostly something under my control - or at least, I can think of it that way, or work toward better self-control, or just dream of the day when I will have this self-control and a certain appearance that will make me feel better about myself!. So now I have this quantifiable, visible goal to focus my self-image and my energy on, instead of my other problems!. It's not psychologically easy, but it does tend to streamline one's anxieties!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I know why I say it a lot cause I want to be thin again I want to have energy to play with my kids and go out to dinner with my fiancee and not feel like people are talking about me why I am eating what I am eating my shirt is to tight shoot we get taken to tables instead of booths when we go out!. I hate to have to look at a chair in an office and wonder if I can sit in it or if my rear is to big !.!.!. things like that are embarrassing
Have you ever been fat!?
Have you wanted to buy clothes and have all these skinny beautiful women there in the dressing rooms specially teenagers, boy they sure make you feel bad about yourself!.
I had 5 c-sections and my stomach droops as well!. There are some of us out here with valid reasons why we say we are fat and why we feel the way we do!. I think I am obsessed for a good reason, I am FAT :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Its because most of the people in America are influenced by the damn media!. When they say "I'm so fat" its usually the media talking and not their thoughts!. It also doesn't help when the News do surveys of how many Americans are over weight!. all that does is make people paranoid!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Because these people don't want to be normal, they want to look different, better than everyone else!. And also because they see models and celebrities and it shows them that "body beautiful" is not impossible to reach!.
And also because a lot of people are perfectionists!. xxWww@Answer-Health@Com

Low self-esteem!. The youth of America has been corrupted by the stick-thin models they see in magazine ads!. Even their child stars such as Miley Cyrus is thin for her age!. The term monkey see, monkey do comes into play here!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

People are never satisfied with what they have !.!.!.!. they always strive to be perfect !.!.!.!. and perfection never happens, unfortunatelyWww@Answer-Health@Com

Unfortunately, our society is consumed with outward appearance!. We tend to make snap judgments based solely off of a person's stature, weight, clothing etc!. :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Because there's a lot of shallow people in the world who would judge you on looks alone!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
