There's two reason. One is that there are many men out there who will not date a woman unless she is very thin. The other is popular media which, up until recently, would not show off plus sized women (or even those not extremely thin) unless they were background characters in shows, or the joke character who always ate.

The media glamorizes extremely thin women. If a woman is a normal healthy weight, she is obese to Hollywood's standards. Unfortunately, it has a world-wide impact.
