Growing up, I remember hearing the argument that "I'm not fat, I'm big boned" and this always made a certain type of sense to me. As someone who has broad shoulders and wide hips, I was never going to be able to achieve the coveted Heroin Chick look of the nineties.
Am I a calorie counting expert? No.
Do I have any formal education in weight loss or nutrition? Also no.
But what I do have is over a decade of experience calorie counting incorrectly, abandoning calorie counting, and gaining all the weight I managed to lose back.
If you are living in a larger body whilst simultaneously living on the internet, you may have come across a growing movement that considers the terms "Obesity" and "Over-Weight" offensive. There's a growing movement online attempting to destigmatise the word Fat, whilst denigrating the O-words.
The argument you may hear on TikTok is that "Fat is a Neutral Term" like tall or short, but words like "obesity" are soaked in moral judgement.
Are they though?
