[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can be fat and not yet obese. [b]The upper third of the bmi chart for ‘normal’ weight is considered overweight.[/b] Disregarding actual health issues, and strictly talking aesthetics, that size 8 blogger is fat, in colloquial terms. If she could get down to a size 4 I bet she’d look amazing. We are so used to seeing overweight and obese women that people really believe she is as small as possible. It does a great disservice to women when we make them think losing weight is impossible, because it isn’t. [/quote]

You are nuts. The upper third of normal is considered … normal.  Overweight and obese have medical definitions.  (Fat does not.) You can make up whatever you want, but that doesn’t make it true. [/quote]

I specifically said that ‘being fat’ is colloquially about looks, not health/medicine. And look up the definition of overweight with regards to bmi. It’s a defined term on the chart, right below obese, and in the ‘normal weight’ category. Seriously, I’ll wait while you google. [/quote]
Normal weight is 18.5-24.9, overweight is 25-30. You are wrong.[/quote]
