Hmm... I'm not convinced. Surely the word 'Fat' is almost universally understood to be an insult - as visit to any school playground will confirm?
BBW has a much more positive connotation for me, much closer to 'Voluptious" than "Obese".
Oh and just for the record, I found out two things at the weekend... firstly that I'm a size 14, and secondly that I temporarily wished I was size 10 :shock:

I think I see where you're coming from here, and I agree - someone who's confident and feels sexy and attractive and has a positive body image 'despite' their size perhaps uses BBW in its sexy, curvy, attractive, voluptuous sense.
Those who have an issue with size = weight problem, unattractiveness, not sexy, obesity, see 'BBW' as a 'pointless' or 'misleading' term that someone uses to cover their 'insecurities' because surely, they cant be happy like that?

The major difference between Fat and BBW, is that one is an insult and the other is a compliment.
i take it by that you mean that being called fat is a insult?
Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that "fat" is more often used as an insult? Pretty much anything can be used as an insult...

in the past I have got to my target weight at WW and thought being that magic weight i had aimed for would be the answer to all my problems, but no the problems are still there just your body shape has changed and it isn't easy to adjust to the new you. In fact it made me ill, i have now come to realise life is what you make it no matter what size you are you are still you.
Personally i am a much happier person when i lose weigh, and people do notice, last year when i lost 6 and a half stone everyone comment on how much happier and out going i was, cause i had the confidance to talk to people without always having in the back of my mind what they must be thinking of me, since i have put a lot of it back on i feel i have lost my 'sparkle' again, i have spent all my life trying to be thin, losing weight i can do, keeping it off is not so easy cause as you lose the weigh and the confidance comes back i seem to eat more
i'm just a twat really
i would sell my soul to the devil to be a size 8 and be able to stay that wey, so if anyone knows him tell him to draw the contract up :lol2:

personally i feel that people who use the term BBw to describe themselves may be lacking in confidence.
to me how big i am is just one part of my description, no more or less important than my eye or hair colour.
i do not feel the need to make a big issue out of it.
i believe that by using the term BBW the person is trying to persuade themselves and other people that they are sexy "despite" being fat! in effect drawing more critisism to themselves than they would be if they had not made a statement about their size.
well whats the need.............you are either sexy or you are not, being fat or thin does not define you, its just a part of the overall package!
i guess this does not make sense, but I know what i was trying to say lol

I'm happier too when I lose weight....though not as happy as I want to be.
Even if I was a size 8 I'd probably still not be happy and want to be thinner.
This probably won't make sense but the way I feel is that because I used to be really quite big I always see myself that way, even when I've lost weight I see myself as I was back then.....I have the visible evidence to prove it and that won't ever go away so I'll more than likely always see myself as I do now.
I do have bags more confidence when I've lost weight - I find myself much more outgoing rather than being embarassed for the way I look.
I have lost a bit of weight in the past few months but nothing noticeable. I seem to lose it fast but it slowly creeps back on, I'm just someone who will have to battle constantly with my weight and eating habits.
NN, if you ever find that devil let me know :lol:

Lush Bald Man is a politically incorrect term nowdays, the allowed phrase of
lush-follically-challenged-man does not lend itself to advertising quite as well though.

Exactly, I have an issue with my lack or hair.... some women find that attractive
You "larger" ladies may have an issue with your size.... some men find that attractive.
So, it takes all types........

we have settled on the word FAT now!
dont let the side down!
at risk of throwing myself back into this thread head first.....
I hate being called FAT. I may be fat, that's a given, but it comes down to self-perception. I see fat as what we have excess of, - we're not made entirely of it! - but again, this is where other people's attitudes come into it - because those who see fat as unattractive/unsexy, usually only see the 'size', they dont see the heart or the soul, they see the outside excess fat and it clouds their perception of the actual person.
'Fat' is a derogatory term used in name-calling or self-piss taking (usually done before anyone else can do it for you)
'Fat' implies obese, unhealthy, unattractive, unsexy, low confidence, unhappiness, low self-esteem.....it reinforces stereotypes that fat or big is bad and underlines negative body image.
I may be 'fat' size wise, but in attitude I'm a BBW.
Labels, like em or not, can be negative or positive, necessary or unnecessary, but I'm sticking with mine.

IMHO, the term BBW is a politically correct description of fat women within the subculture of fat admirers to emphasize their confidence, sexiness and attractiveness. The attraction and beauty is defined by their pleasant appearance, charisma and charm. Personally, I do not see anything wrong with the BBW label. :smitten:
