I saw a post on the last page that really made me upset! I'm not going to say who wrote it or anything, but we are putting our self worth on what size we are or if we are skinny or fat. The word "fat" should not be used to describe yourself, someone else or anything! People are going to bring you down no matter what the scale says or no matter how much or little money you have. The point is DO NOT USE AND BAD WORDS TO DESCRIBE YOURSELF!!!!!! You have to learn to love yourself! GOOD LUCK GUYS!!!

i think it isnt the word that you use its the way you (or anyone) uses it. For example i could say "im fat and i am working really hard to change that..." thats fine, and just stating facts, but if someone uses it provakatively, towards themselves or anyone else, then THATS when it gets outta hand!

i know its hurtful and people do need to think better of themselves but sometimes you just feel fat is the only way to describe yourself i do sometimes but i also look at all the other things about me that i like! that dont have to do with my size..

I dont see a difference between the words... i mean they all mean the same thing... fat, obese, large, big, over weight, chubby.... so some ppl use other words, maybie we all interpet them differently
