TODAY: Why Do Women Engage In "Fat Talk"

I get very, very uncomfortable when friends or aquaintences start body shaming in front of or to me. It eaither feels like some mind-game to fish for compliments by putting yourself down or you are truly disgusted by yourself and unless you are a close friend or a family member reaching out for some help, I don’t have any idea how to respond. I certainly won’t get into a weird pissing match with you - I don’t put myself down, even if I don’t believe it. It’s just a super awkward situation. Until I saw this segment I assumed this was just a high school/college behavior. I just can’t believe well adjusted adult women do this. Do they?
