    I guess I'll have to wait and see when I eventually get to my goal weight of 205. Once I am there and I STILL have a belly roll, I'll decide...

    Probably NEVER. I'm 5 ft 4 and now weigh 157 pounds. I see myself as fat and don't think I'll ever be happy with my reflection in the mirror.

    I don't consider myself "fat." Just larger than my absolute ideal. I guess I'd go with "thick" over fat. I'll consider myself ideal at 25% or lower BF.

    When I stop comparing myself to others.

    Oh, wait, I don't. I love myself, I love my body, and I love my life. I worked damn hard to get here and relish every second.

    I will stop thinking im fat when I get into the 130s. 125 is my goal, but I did lose weight when I was younger and the 130s are a good zone to be in. Im 5'5".

    When my stomach is semi flat and my cholesterol level is decent. I'm not overweight nor ever was, but I was and tend to the skinny fat.

    Yeah, I know I started considering myself fat when the ladygarden shaving became a matter of moving the fat out of the way. Also, when I went to flex my biceps and couldn't see any definition despite the fact that they're pretty large underneath. :(

    So, as soon as that fat gets out of the way of my "lawnwork" and I'm having some nice muscle definition going, I shall be unfat again!

    When I am no longer fat.

    Meaning when my body fat percentage reaches a normal, healthy level.

    I'll let you know when I get there. If I had to guess... when my love handles are COMPLETELY gone.

    I don't think of myself as fat ~ under 150. It isn't my dream weight, but I don't feel fat. Over 160 on me is FAT.

    This for me too! Its the only thing that I really have a problem with. Hmm and maybe my chubby face. Lol

    When I'm comfortable wearing a two piece bathing suit.

    Agree, same here.

    I was wondering this same question. At what point do you cross the line from fat to not fat, or unfit to fit. I'm not quite as firm as I want to be, but I don't consider myself fat anymore, and if someone tried to call me fat, I'd challenge them to arm wrestling. Would that count as a modern day duel? lol

    When I can wear a bikini with pride!

    When I have a 36-C bra again, instead of a nasty 38-D.

    When I can find a pair of jeans without going directly to the back of the rack.

    When I don't have to worry about people comparing me to my girlfriend and thinking, "They're an odd couple...why's that one so big?"
