You cannot BE fat. You can HAVE fat. I have lots of it, but there's a lot more to me than that.

I never know how to respond when people complain about their weight; it puts the listener in an awkward position.

I usually say, "Well, everyone's beautiful in their own way. Besides, it's what's inside that counts. Have you heard about this great website called MFP?"

Couldn't agree more. Every Time I acknowledge the fact that I am "Fat" people say "Don't say that." or "I hate when you talk about yourself like that." I just got tired of not speaking the fact or sugar coating it. The fact is I am fat and as long as it doesn't bother me to say it it shouldn't bother them to hear it.

My favorite is when people say oh, didn't see you there. I'm 6'3 and nearly 300 pounds, really, you didn't see me?

Actually it feels great to say nearly 300 pounds, I'm closer to 290 now, not used to that piece

False, lots of fat girls say UGH IM SO FAT as a trick to get into fights with fitter friends and then be all sobby and teary eyed and victimized, so that their fitter friends end up having to console them and feel bad for looking better.

Sorry but the only time I've ever heard someone whine about how fat they are is when they're not fat. You still want me to encourage that?

Instead of demanding the world comply with your required response, how about not putting people in an awkward position in the first place by saying it? People are trying to be kind to you, get over it.

I can handle the weight of that reality.

I see what you did there....

Yeah I'm fat. When I say so, my favorite response is something along the lines of "Don't beat yourself up about it. You're working hard to change it and over time it will change. You gotta stay positive."

Usually if i'm commenting on my weight, it's because i'm really feeling down about the fact that I AM fat. Encouraging words that I'm doing the right thing is what cheers me up.

On a more serious note, I have fat on me, but I am not fat. I am Marie.

Love this.

My BF and I were discussing my weight. I said something about how could he be attracted to me at this weight since when he met me I was skinny. He replied "you weren't skinny when I met you" Not a good response. I thought I was skinny. Thinnest I had been in years. But I always have a big butt so I guess he was happy.

Completely agree!!! Yes, I'm fat...I don't need your pity comments about how I look great. I also know I look great and am attractive in spite of my fatty mcfatness. Doesn't make me NOT fat!

I am a realist! When I looked in the mirror when I weighed 290, I would say damn you are fat girl! I didnt have to have anyone agree with me or try to dispute it. I'm not stupid!

Now at 170, I know I am still overweight, but I see a strong woman who has come a heck of a long way! Sometimes I think I look dang good.

What I am getting right now, that I really dont like is......you're so skinny, you dont need to lose any more weight. Really people, I'm 5'3 and weigh 170. That is overweight and not a healthy BMI. I particularly hate it when someone who is super skinny says this to me.

I am still in the obese category for my height, but just 4/10 of a pound from being overweight. So please dont tell this "realist" that I am skinny.

I'm going to thread stalk you and tell you that you're PHAT.

Why do you disrespect yourself by going und telling everyone you're fat?? That's crazy. If you're fat, others do know it. Also, stop complaining about it and use that energy to do something about it.

Even when I was over 300 pounds I never complained about my weight. No one wants to hear it.

I completely agree with this. My boyfriend regularily says things like "well I'm a fat guy, you know" and the like. My response EVERY time is "you know, you can DO something about that."

yup! ^^^this, I never hear fat people say that

_Wits_

Weight is a very emotive subject. If someone says you are not fat they are a liar and if they agree with you they are a b*tch.

This. As soon as someone says "Yes, you are right..you're fat" there would certainly be people crying to have that persons head cut off and saying how rude they are.

False, lots of fat girls say UGH IM SO FAT as a trick to get into fights with fitter friends and then be all sobby and teary eyed and victimized, so that their fitter friends end up having to console them and feel bad for looking better.

If they work hard, they should never feel bad. That's the type of whiney friend I walk away from lol

It works both ways....fat girls, thin girls....it's all just exhausting to think about at this point.
