    Do you or have you considered yourself as fat? Or have one of your friends?


    Obesity like we hear so many times is a massive problem throughout the world, but when it comes to yourself, do you classify yourself has fat? Have you ever? Or has one of your friends?
     
    Well, I wouldn't say I'm fat, nonono. But I could definitely say I need to lose a few kg's, mostly just to stay in shape/look a bit better.

    And yes, a few of my friends have considered themselves as fat. But 90% of the time, they're wrong and simply have low self esteem. It's sad that quite a lot of people feel horrible about themselves because of some of the impossibly high standards society has set today. SO DISAPPOINTING.
     
    I once considered myself a little over-weight till I did something about it. Now I am, I suppose, happy with my weight. I am constantly doing different types of exercise to keep myself in shape and to maybe lose some more.

    No one has ever said I have put on weight or that I look out of shape though...​
     
    I've got more body fat than I wish to have, but I'm still relatively skinny. Though I really should do something about the weight I've gained, as I barely get any exercise anymore and still eat like I'm a teenager (which, by some miracle, my metabolism still functions like I'm still a teenager).

    My brother usually pokes fun at my weight gain because I used to be basically a human fencepost as a teenager.
     
    Sometimes I think so, especially about a year or two ago. I noticed that I kept gaining a pound or two consistently for a while, but it just stopped all of the sudden. I've been the exact same weight for about a year or a half. No more, no less.
     
    Some people say I'm not fat, but I think I am. I look in the mirror, and I'm just not pleased. I refer to myself as morbidly obese in passing to friends, which comes off as a joke..but I tend to believe it. '-';

    I have very low self esteem when it comes to the way I look, which I suppose is common these days considering the image that is pushed. ._.;

    I started working out and lost a bunch of weight, but I'm putting some back on from not working out, and it mortifies me. Thus, now that I have access to a free gym, I'm going to start using it at least three nights a week. D:

    And, eating healthier will help too. Which..I do for the most part, except when I'm lazy. D:

    I really want to improve my self image, and subsequently, my self esteem.

    But, I would never starve myself or make myself throw up. Icky.
     
    Yes, for jokes of course. XD
    When i'm tired and if someone goes "hey dude, drag this for me" , I say "no way brotha im too fat".
    There. XD
     
    I don't consider myself "fat" right now. In fact, I'm one of the thinnest people I know. I was called "fat" indirectly because my dad said I needed to exercise more back then.
     
    I am like the fattest person ever.

    Anyway, i do classify myself as being a little in the overweight side, but i am having a growth spurt and I am actually a decent weight (slightly over 10 stone) for my height (Which is something like 5 foot 9.)

    Quite the opposite really... More considered a stick than fat XD People wonder how I can eat so much and stay so small. I personally feel thin but I don't bother for it
     
    I am not overweight statistically for my age and height, but I am not buff at all, so I wouldn't mind shedding a tiny bit. I don't think I'm fat, just could go with a bit off.
     
    Exactly the opposite for me. I'm horribly skinny and no matter what I do, I never manage to gain much weight. I think it's a genetic thing, since my father is skinny as well, and so was my grandfather (I think).
     
    I'm not fat. I look fit, but it doesn't make me fit. I can barely jog two kilometers before having to stop and catch my breath and I can't get anything higher than a 7.5 on the beep test (and that's after training, I used to get 5.5). But that was like a year ago. I literally haven't worked out or anything in aaages. So I don't know why I'm not obese. The most exercise I get is walking home from the bus stop/work.
     
    Heh. When people tell me that I'm 'fat', they mean it in terms on how much I'm about to eat (which in reality, I don't eat much in one sitting. Maybe three or four sittings withing several hours, buuuut...). People rarely, if someone ever has at all, have called me fat. I've actually gotten the opposite quite a few times, in which people tell me that I need to gain weight. I weigh just as much as I'm supposed to weigh, thank you very much my friends. <3

    I do have quite a few friends who say their fat. The majority of them who do say that aren't really though, and it's just their self-esteem taking a pitfall at the time.
     
    I've never been called fat, and that's probably due to the fact i've always been skinny. Surprisingly i'm not actually underweight (My BMI is almost exactly perfect for my stature), despite how thin I am.

    I'm also one of the chosen few that people hate because I can eat like a horse and not gain a pound.
     
    My brother seems to have this ongoing thing where he refers to me as fat as a joke, but I'm not at all... lol.
    My idea of fat is actually fat, I don't really understand how people can regard certain other people or themselves as fat when they actually aren't, but oh well.
