    When I visited home this past Christmas, a friend of mine gave me a hug and said, "How's my big girl?" Eventhough I don't like being called, "big" but I really wouldn't have liked it if she had called me fat.

    It really is a hard line to toe though because we never really know what is offensive to others. I try to maintain the attitude that if I wuld be offended, I dont say it.

    Fat works. After all any politically correct term you can come up with today will be taboo tomorrow, and this is the way it'll keep going until it's considered wrong to even acknowledge it ever.

    Stored energy is the best term.

    When I am trying to describe a fat person at work to someone I will say something like "the bigger lady with the short blonde hair" or something like that.
    I also say "big" in descriptions. "The tall mom, who's kind of big and with blonde hair". Or the "Short teacher who's a little on the bigger side and with a red 'fro".

    If I were to refer to myself like when meeting a client who hasn't met me for the first time "usually I refer to my car" but if I HAD too, I'd say, "well, I'm kind of petite, well actually I used to be petite, but now I'm just short."

    I try to find some other description than the person's weight if you need to describe them....
    like "Jenny, the blonde lady who's desk is by the rear stairs, with the 3 kids?"
    or "Jack, the one who is always talking about cars"

    Generally, if you think for a few extra seconds, past their weight, you can find SOMETHING and leave their weight out of the conversation.

    Overweight for fat, underweight for too thin. There isn't anything difficult about it.

    Call it what it is...no matter how nicely you try and put it, it still boils down to being fat/overweight..lol

    I try not to refer to other peoples weights, but for me I say I have junk in the trunk... and the bonnet!

    I'm loving fluffy though!
