The Fat Factor

How do you know when you've gone from chubby to full-fledged fat? People (family, friends, whomever) quit asking, "Oh, you've put on a bit of weight?"

They start saying, "Oh no! You're not fat." They'll give you a shocked or comforting look with that song and dance too.

After that milestone is reached then occasionally, with a glimpse of hope more than truth, they'll ask, "Wow, you look like you've lost weight."

Like anyone could tell if a 290 pound girl lost five pounds.

That would be like noticing a deck chair thrown off the Titanic.
