    You are not fat, you HAVE fat, that you're getting rid of.

    Don't let your weight define who you are.

    Exactly...wise young lady.

    Well said.

    Fat is a substance, not what you are. You are a woman, man, person, mother, daughter, friend, lover, girlfriend or boyfriend, husband, but you are NOT fat. Fat is what you are trying to lose. Yes, I am "touchy" about the word, because despite not being overweight for most of my life, I was called fat...by my mother. I went the opposite way, and became anorexic. From then on, I have had a VERY bad relationship with food. I ended up somehow managing to get my metabolism to stall. Put on weight...and now I am trying to improve my relationship with food.

    The word "fat" is not allowed in our home, unless it is referring to a substance. Try it.. ban it from your vocabulary for a while. If someone calls you "fat", tell them.. they are ugly... at least you can diet!
