The word fat.The word fat.
lambchop said: "Fat to me is almost like a swear word. I know that I'm "fat" but if someone were to call me that, I would take it as a huge insult. And when I call myself fat in front of someone else, they cringe a little. It's not a nice word anymore -- if it ever was."

It's feeling like I stick out like a sore thumb wherever I go in Miami.
It sucks. :("
shrkntz said: "Fat means a battle word to me. When I hear it, I feel like checking in a mirror. It is a word that I wish would have no meaning but sometimes and some days it means more than just weight gain."
featherish said: "What does the word "fat" mean to you?
To me, fat is dormant energy that needs to burned off into the universe
with will."
Henrietta said: "Fat means "HUGE" to me. And lazy, even though it really doesn't mean that."
Heather said: "It's feeling trapped under a layer of stuff that isn't you."
Cupcake said: "The rolls on my stomach when I'm sitting. :("
Darren said: "Yeah, like feeling bloated. Like 10 pounds of crap stuffed in 1 pound sack. :)"
cvalh said: "Fat is what I think when I look in the mirror or put on a favorite outfit that's too tight!"
MsIntellect said: "I think it means too much EXTRA. Too much extra body weight, too much extra food, and too much extra of yourself. Once you begin to lose that, you start to feel like you're not an extra, but the right portion."
UniqueMystique said: "How I feel after overindulging on Mexican food. :D It's been a long time since I've done that too."
UniqueMystique said: "I agree....definitely a 'dirty' word!"

spectrachic311 said: "Fat is a way to store a lot of calories. I learned in a biochem course that the AVERAGE (NOT overweight) person stores about 200,000 calories worth of fat on them at any given time. That's a lot of fuel for if you needed it for something, don't you think?
To me it also means insulation. When I got underweight, I got underfat, and when I got underfat, I got COLD!!! A little insulation is good for your organs and it makes you comfortable and sexy. (Seriously, I rarely felt sexy when I was 106 lbs. Granted, I didn't feel all that sexy at 190 either; 116-120 is a good range for me and most of the time, I do feel sexy ;)"

Qian said: "Fat is what I become when my stomach directs what I do instead of my brain."
Qian said: "Fat to me is getting winded when I tie my shoes."
whateverhobb said: "Fat to me is eating dinner at your mother in law's and feeling like her little chairs are going to collaspe under your weight. Also that none of my shirts can hide the rolls anymore, no matter how hard I try and stretch them out. :mad:"
