Size 4 is considered "fat?" Maybe in Hollywood and the fashion industry, but not in the real world. I guess at a size 7/8 at 5' 31/2" inches and 118 pounds, I am obese then? News to me. I haven't been a size 4 for about 8 years now and doubt I ever will be again, and it doesn't bother me a whit.
Nobody HAS to believe that crap. I certainly choose not to, and when some of my female students say things like "I'm so fat" when they're all of 100 pounds, I tell them to be grateful that they have enough food to even consider becoming overweight. I also tell them that they should love themselves and take care of themselves and their weight will take care of itself.
