No, Catherine didn't say that Maxima was "fat" to all of you who jumped on her bandwagon and are obviously just as ridiculous. Maxima, fat or overweight please! She implied that Maxima's outfit was nice, but that it could have been nicer if only she hadn't looked like she gained weight. What in the world is that? Yes, it is a half-compliment and you would have to be very dense not to get it when someone says something positive then follows with, "but" it tends to be half and half. Here's an idea, once you have said something nice and positive, STOP! Learn to keep ignorant and arrogant comments to yourself. When you give a compliment; give one.
Oh and BTW, to the psychologists and therapists here, I know why people get eating disorders and they get them for various reasons. There is no one reason or one of group of reasons. As I recall, I sited some reasons given to me by the people that I have worked with with eating disorders, not every individual of the world's population from every single background imaginable who has had an eating disorder or known someone who has had one, okay Doctors?
However, the young women that I particularly work with have stated that one thing that many of them share in common is that many of them have been told things along the lines of "you look great, but your ankles or legs (something really stupid) look fat." Sometimes, they get the ever popular, "What's wrong with you're....?" They feel perfectly fine about themselves until people like some of you tell them that they could look so much better and do so much better. The truth is that there is nothing physically wrong with them other than that they aren't as thin as the next person and most of them couldn't possibly be that thin, because their body types are different.
The thing that we always encourage them to do is to stay away from people like some of you here and to get a better class of friends.
