    I don't like to use the word 'fat' since it hurts peoples feelings...but yes, I think Adele is obese. She is still very beautiful though. I also love that she doesn't seem to give a damn if anyone thinks she's fat. Nothing is sexier than all that confidence






    obese fat both mean words to call someone..

    Apparently, BMI is out as a fat indicator and waist size is the new indicator of whether or not your weight is a problem.

    Fat is not a inherently negative word, it is just descriptive. There are many beautiful, incredible, talented, and yes, fat people. And there is nothing wrong, bad, insulting, or negative about that.

    And I'll still use bodyfat %.

    Interesting change of subject though!

    Honest opinion.....
    And please no slating me for this. Im just honestly answering the OP's question.

    I do think adele is fat.

    But my honest opinion, and once again i know this will annoy alot of people, but im just inputting my honest opinions into the post. No trolling intended and i dont expect people to agree with me..

    But i think, UK size 8 / US size 4 is average.
    UK size 12 / US size 8 is fat.
    And UK size 10 / US size 6 is just pushing it.. Depends how well you carry yourself..

    But not trying to troll, just my honest opinion.

    Clearly she's not Fit, nor even average. So what does it leave? "Fat" is just a descriptive word. You can call her "plump", but you're just using a less popular word to call her fat... end result is still the same.

    Does she?

    I don't think so...I think she has a typically skewed viewpoint. Next she'll be saying 'only real women have curves'.

    Since when is a size 12 US (UK 14-16) Obese???/Fat??? Some people have a warped sense of what "fat" is, but I think that when I see someone who's 125 lbs looking to lose 10 lbs smh..

    As a culture, we have become too sensitized to the word "fat". It is seen in a negative condontation, but the word when used as an adjective means "(of a person or animal) Having a large amount of excess flesh". I'm fat, heck many of us on here are fat, that is why we are here: but that does not mean she is not beautiful. Adele is an amazing and inspirational young woman who is beatiful and carries herself very well. Fat is a description, not a sense of being.

    That is just messed up and the same kind of attitude that drives people to anorexia and eating disorders. A size 4 AVERAGE??? and a size 8 fat??? you have got to be crazy............... size 4 is "hollywood model" ideal. Size 6 is Jennifer Lopez and size 8 is Jennifer Garner.

    She doesn't look anywhere near as big as that last picture anymore, she has lost a substantial amount of weight over the last two years. Probably due to music company pressure, though I would hope to be healthier also.

    Yep, she's "fat" but man is she gorgeous!! Just goes to show that even if society has a "norm" standard of beauty that is thin; it can be broken! I wouldn't mind looking like Adele at all. Outside of possible health complications from being overweight; I wouldn't mind being fat so much if I looked like her, lol.

    Nothing wrong to say if someone is fat. People are described as skinny, muscular, big boned, hairy, short, tall, etc. so fat shouldn't be taken offensively if it's the truth.

    Personally it does annoy me that its even discussed, however I would way rather people call her fat than make completely unfounded assumptions about her 'health'. Hiding fat-hating behind fake concern about someone's health is one of my pet peeves. Body weight is a pretty poor indicator of health and there are many other characteristics and/or behavious that affect someones health which people ignore.

    Yes, the left picture is overweight/fat, if you will...though not overly so.

    Size 12.

    I know many women who are more fit and healthy at 110lbs versus 125lbs.
