If the doctor writes “morbidly obese" on your chart (like she did on mine), I think you can consider yourself fat. I’m 5 ft. 4 in. and 175 lbs. It’s not a contest and there’s no weight qualification. If someone feels fat, that’s their reality. Knowing there are people who are a lot fatter isn’t going to make someone feel better, nor is telling them they don’t qualify as fat.
