I'm so super-pumped that I only have 14 pounds to gain before I officially enter the obese category with a BMI of 30! Given my track record of having gained almost 60 pounds in the past 10 years without even trying to gain, I should be there by the time I graduate even if I don't make any efforts to grow on purpose. Was wondering if any of you remember reaching this milestone and have any thoughts to share.

I would say certain things you will always remember like when you reach a certain weight or get told your BMI is too high at the Dr's office.
The time when you are officially the "fattest"among your friends. When I was an active gainer the point where I passed 200 lbs was pretty special. Passing 300 was amazing too because I wasn't trying to gain. There will always be milestones. |

Do you use "obese" to describe yourself?

I'm with Chubbynate on this one, haha. When I hit 300 lbs, I was like "is this it? I can still see my feet if you lean a little."
I guess, especially as an average-height man with a bit of muscle, 300 lbs isn't all that big. My belly only sags like a little. Mainstream media led me to believe I'd be like a jiggling tub of lard at 300, but I was just cuddly, instead. |

I am constantly wrestling with insecurity on this score, and fearing that I may have lost, or may be about to lose weight. I've seen the occasional person like you describe. A teacher here, a high school student there, a manager, a coworker, etc, and they're just so glamorous at those higher extremes, and I desperately want what they have, but I'm unable to reach their level. For such people, with such an incredible gift, to treat it so disdainfully... It makes me want to cry at times. Great fatness is a magnificent gift; something that many can't achieve on their own, and which would be a godsend if it could be shared. Yet, the lack of appreciation for this magnificent gift by those who possess it is palpable. It's almost maddening. |

I rarely use the word obese to describe myself. I like saying "I am too fat..." for something or admitting I am a fat guy. Or I will jokingly describe my body type as "voluptuous" to women who fully understand what that means.

Fat sounds better than obese...at least to me.

Isn't "obese" more specific than "fat"? Isn't anyone who's overweight "fat"?

It depends on how you define “overweight.” Most people use BMI as the metric for defining healthy, overweight or obese. But that greatly overstates the problem. I’m 5’7” and weigh 161: BMI of 25.2, overweight. Yet I’m pretty darn fit. If by definition I am “overweight” but not “fat” I think we can conclude the answer to your question is no.

I think also fat means a big person and is more on perspective of the person how said someone is fat. The word 'obese' does suggests an fact, but is also a judgment.

However, like most words in "living" languages, it gets used to mean things we'd rather it didn't from time to time. In particular, I feel the word "fat" is not specific enough; being applied to many people who are definitely not fat, just because they're not the societal ideal in certain areas. Some people might take issue with the fact that the word can also be used to describe the fat itself, and not just the person, but I'm used to the idea of words having multiple definitions, as long as you can differentiate between them based on context. |
