+600 you should never call someone fat. If they really are fat, they probably know it and don't need someone pointing it out, amirite?

(Megan:D): There are some people out there who actually don't know, though. I read an article about a person who had been clinically obese for quite a while and didn't know it, because apparently she had somehow not looked in a mirror properly for about 20 years. What annoyed me most about that was that she tried to pass it off as some kind of reverse version of anorexia, "fatorexia", as she called it, even though once her doctor told her she was obese, and she saw her body in a mirror, she did notice that was indeed fat, and it doesn't work that way for anorexics...

I don't see "fat" as an insult. I personally think it's a word to describe someone, just like "skinny". Some people take offense when you call them skinny (e.g. my best friend) when I don't think they should.

I agree. We calculated our body mass index in Nutrition & Wellness class, and my friend who's slightly smaller than me was freaking out. I already knew I was fat, and this guy was telling us he was going to look at our weight, and I didn't care, because I already knew that I was clinically fat. I don't see why so many people take it as an insult, when it's more or less a description.

"Fat" is seen as more of a negative adjective, while "skinny" isn't.

It can be, and often is, used as an insult just as much as "fat" is.

True, but I'm not fat. I'm just easy to see.

this may make me a bad person by saying this but i dont really like fat people. like i dont believe that whole "i feel comfortable in my curves" crap. cuz being fat doesnt mean ur curvy. it means ur blobish. and u shouldnt feel comfotable like that cuz its non healthy. just effing exercise and eat right its not that hard. like eating junk food makes u feel like crap afterwards anyway so just like eat something good like a damn carrot
