    When I'm back to having women eye me up as a piece meat, not look in disgust at me as a tub of lard.

    When the under sides of my arms (triceps) are more toned.

    I've never considered myself fat.. even when I was 180.. I view myself as chubby/chunky, and I honestly don't mind my current weight. Now my husband does but oh well. I like having curves. I just want to be toned. Obviously while trying to tone I'll need to loose more weight..

    When I no longer had to move my muffin top to shave my lady bits.


    This!

    Well said, I think allot of us were thinking it, you just had the "lady bits" to say it!

    I'm one for all the terms that mean fat, but aren't. Lol, I'm 5'6, and at 170lb, I was just chubby. :) I'll still have a lot to go after that, but once I'm there, I think I'll drop the term "fat".

    When I get back to the physical shape that was required by the military... For me it's around 195 pounds and a 34-37 inch waist. If I can fit back into some of my old BDU's without it fitting like a sausage casing, then I'll stop referring to myself as fat.

    That is a hard question. Even when I was below the weight I should have been I though and called my self fat. Maybe its what we hear ask of our lives.

    LOL! At least "big guy" sounds kinda cool. My white a*s doesn't get "big guy", it's "fata*s" under their breath!

    From what I've seen , you'll probably hear "brotha" a lot; it's people's churched up way of saying "black guy".

    when my thighs dont jiggle so much & i am under 120 pounds. oh god i cant wait.
    ditto! and also when i can wear shape-hugging Tshirts without noticing ugly buldges!


    Agreed on both!

    I never did consider myself fat, even when I really was a bit. But I look back at pictures of myself and I think I looked fat upwards of 135 lbs.

    Never, I'm afraid. I was chubby growing up and still have flashbacks of being called fat. Haha. I'm still uncomfortable taking my shirt off at the beach.

    I can't imagine ever not considering myself fat, but I'll go with when I don't feel like I need shape wear to flatten my stomach in snugger fitting outfits.

    I don't know about you, but I'm just fine with you taking off your shirt.

    this made me lol! but second that reply!

    to OP: I think I'll feel like I'm getting close when my thighs no longer touch and I can't pinch any fat and i can stand to look at myself in the mirror without hating myself
