"I’m a fat lass who shops at Fat Face.
Only when I’ve been paid though as they’re a tad pricey 
I didn't go into the shop I assumed that it was just a name they thought was fun ."
Well if you do go into the shop next time, take a deep breath and don’t inhale sharply when you see they want £40 for a T-shirt with a shark on it.

The "Fat" word has been around for many years in shop names.
Fat willy's surf shack down in Cornwall has been around since 1985.
Was never an offensive thing when shops first used it i suppose.

But if you are, you are.
I don't see it as a term of offence. Just a description. Likewise with thin. |

"I go to fat club every week but I imagine some people may find that offensive. The humour works for me.
I’m probably missing something blatantly obvious but what is fat club?"
Its a club for thin people where they get to eat any amount of sausage rolls, sweets and cakes to get Fat.
Na only kidding. It's a weight loss club. We people call it Fat club because more often than not it's full of fat people wanting to lose fat |

When the Barbie movie came out, we were affectionately known as fat club Barbies 
If you don't know what it is then this might help from Peter Kay...

Why don't you like women describing themselves as fat, OP? It is *just* a word, after all. Just because other people use it in a derogatory fashion doesn't mean that people shouldn't use it to describe themselves... they're often only using it as a descriptor rather than an insult. |

Oh, I definitely have more body fat than is good for me, so, I am fat, it's ok... But I am trying to be less fat as I want to be fitter and look after myself better as I get older

That's a fair question but to be honest I think it a lot of case is a self dreprication and to many women have self esteam issues put themselves down but other own the term as ive said their choice I just like the term been used in that way .but I don't like a lot of words I hate the word pussy .don't like women using that either.but that me. |

I'm almost morbidly obese according to the BMI. It certainly doesn't make me feel good when the nurse tells me that.  |

I have concerns about those charts. When I was skinnier (I'd argue abit on the skinny side though really fit) I was consider bang on for my BMI. I don't think it's correct. It's an opinion at the end of the day. You know what's health and what isn't. |

Yes I think it's so wrong. Doesn't take things like muscle mass into consideration. |

This!
I use it sometimes matter of factly and people feel the need to respond defensively on my behalf that I'm not! If I hadn't shaved my legs for two months and declared them hairy, no one in their right mind would argue with me that they weren't! At origin, it is a descriptive word. |

BMI isn't that flawed. For the vast majority of people it's a reasonable indicator.
People are just generally a lot bigger these days. And getting bigger. |

"BMI isn't that flawed. For the vast majority of people it's a reasonable indicator.

Indicator of what ?
Height to waist ratio is a far more accurate way to assess metabolic illness and concomitant health issues.
As for fat, I think it is a fair descriptive word. If I saw 6 blokes in the pub and one was fat, I wouldn't say "That guy over there...the one with the blondish hair, and the black shoes".
I would say "The fattest one".
People tip toe around it.
I am shaven headed...if it wasn't part of a description of me...through people projecting their issues with it...I'd be surprised and a little perplexed |

The BMI chart is totally flawed. It said my husband was heading towards being morbidly obese. Take a look at his photos, does he look morbidly obese to you? |

It's seriously outdated and not much use. Using your own eyes is a much better guide of seeing if someone is overweight. |

I was told to ignore BMI by my cardiologist....My cholesterol is low and I exercise several times a week. |

I’m a bit funny with the word fat. It’s always been a negative thing growing up. Used a lot to hurt your feelings as in being fat is a bad or shameful thing. Of course it’s not healthy to have excessive amounts of fat but why does it have to define our worth to a lot of people? I guess the same can be said for anyone’s physical appearance fat or not. Looks seem to define worth. Not sure if it’s relevant to the question asked now I’ve rambled. |

I see on here sometimes men mention, ‘won’t sleep with anything’ and I assume it’s to do with someone’s looks. I could be wrong though. Not nice to describe someone as an ‘anything’. |

Fat fatty chunky chuffle puff. If I don't want to be fat any more I could put this pie down go and cut my grass and then do some exercisements with the other fatties at fat fighters,. Comparing this weeks sins with each other, then getting thrown out for oversharing my sins again. It isn't true. I haven't gone blind Linda. I digress. Why is it fat women are sexy and I'm not? They are warm and squishy and jiggly and soft and sexy in a pillowed kind is way. Poor me. I'm not sexy. Where's that other pie gone? Steak and kidney. Lovely. |

There's a vast difference between those who BMI doesn't work for because they have muscle and those who use that line to point out one of its flaws when actually they know they're overweight.
The first group are almost definitely aware of where they're at with their fitness. The second group are in denial.
The flaws of BMI are well known and it's dumb to take it in isolation. Doesn't change that for the majority of people it's generally a reasonable indicator as to where you're at with your weight. |

Scales are the best measure of your mass. BMI is of little value.
But mass is made up of many factors.
Of the markers for metabolic health, waist/height ratio is the simplist and most useful as a guide.
The role of visceral adipose deposits in revealing mitochondrial dysfunction is becoming more recognised and subcutaneous fat, whilst still a marker, is becoming less important.
In other words, there are healthy "fat" people and unhealthy "skinny" people.
TOFI people are at the most risk because they have no visible signs of their ill health without scans.
Yes, generally people who are over fat do have metabolic disease and would improve markers by reducing adipose tissue (subcutaneous drops along with visceral deposits) but it is not a given from appearance.
BMI though, really is a poor tool and often a hindrance in diagnosing the health of an individual. Obviously, this means all the Drs use it in the western world.  |

I didn't realise fat face catered for fat people (I'm a fat person so I think I'm safe to say the word).
I think you're reading a bit too much into it, after all the shops that are catered solely for "fat people" like Evans (are they still a thing?!) and Yours aren't called "Fat Evans" and "You're Fat" are they.
I really don't look too much into names, like fat willy surf shack, as mentioned before...I've always giggled at the name for using the word willy!

Fat is a valid word, its only offensive if used as an insult... but any insult is potentially offensive.
FATFACE has been around since the 1980's and have 100's of shops around the world.

Wasn't arguing that it's the best method.
Not sure what you're trying to prove? That people should ignore the obvious unless they get a scan?!

No, just that they should ignore the BMI. As you said, people "know" where they are weight wise, but body weight isn't an indicator of much.
I am not trying to "prove" anything. Just sharing information. |

Words are not offensive but the context you use them is.
Fat is a word that should be used, I am fat or was, lost three stone so far and a little to go
Fat is not healthy fat is unhealthy and will result in a shorter life span with other health problems, but if you’re happy with who you are then so be it.
Personally I do like curves and find a very curved woman attractive I love curves but it is how you feel about yourself that matters only that |
