Seriously, define fat? best answer!?!


Question: Seriously, define fat!? best answer!!?
What is starting to bug me on Y!A especially in the Diet and fitness section is that girls who are 5'7 and 105 go and ask if they are fat!. Then they answer people's questions asking if 5'3 and 110 is fat, and the skinny girl says no!.
How does that work!?
Do you think you're fat, honestly!?
What do you think is the ideal weight!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Fat is a relative term!. It's not even a proper adjective really, fat is just the material accumulated in your body from consuming extra calories!. In the middle-ages overweight women were considered beautiful and many afro-carribean and island cultures still see it this way!.

Women will always wish to conform to the 'norm' of their naturalized society!. It's unfortunate that our Western society demands such perfection because it's driving people mad and creating pretty strange behaviour in our kids!.

To answer you directly, being obese is unhealthy and the obese know that they're obese!. As for the rest of us, most of these 'fat' women are probably average weight for their build or slightly above at worst!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

theres no ideal weight imo,theres a ideal weight range!.!.!.but everyone carries their weight differently depending on muscle mass/fat ratio and your frame!.
I had a friend whos looks perfectly fine but felt she should be at a certain weight!.!.!.now she looks a bit anorexic!.!.!.fat is subjective IMO,its just compared to the thin society that is thought of as beautiful today that someone who seems perfectly fit is considered fat!.But there is a line!.!.!.!.and for medical reasons,not just for looks that you should try to be in the ideal weight range and my range is wider towards the meaty side!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Honestly, if you're 5'7 and only 105 and you think you're fat, you have issues!. That is not fat, I think some people just have low self esteem and need to hear other people tell them they are skinny!. Then the ones who are 5'3 and 110 lbs, but also think they're fat, they also have issues because I am 5'0 and 110 lbs, and honestly I don't think I'm fat!.
I think people should stop obsessing over their weight!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

on the average, i think we are far more critical of ourselves than we are of others, and modern advertising can make people insecure; especially if they aren't a size 2!. that's why i think people believe they are overweight and can still say that someone who is heavier than them are not overweight!.!.!.!.!.going online and using a bmi calculator is a great way to find the 'ideal' weight for your own height!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

For females, when your body fat percentage goes over 30%, this is medically considered to be 'overfat'!. However you can be a low weight or skinny with a high body fat %, which is more a case of not having enough muscle mass than too much body fat!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Good question, I ranted about this the other day as well!. I think that the misconception is that we all have to be very thin and able to fit into a size 0 for girls or for men, you can't have a waist bigger than 34!.

You need to be happy about yourself and accept that you can change it if you want to!. If you like being 300lbs, who are we to say you should change, if you love yourself, who cares! If you don't let us all help you or just help yourself!.

The idea weight is set on a graph, made my some people in an office who say that if you are "this" tall and you weigh "this" than you are fine!. Over that or under that magical number, you are a "bad person!."

Everyone refers to BMI, and the world heath organization, the American Medical Association and the Canadian Medical Association all agree that BMI is only one small factor in the big picture of an individuals health!. It means very little!.

Love yourself, enjoy life, eat good food and get out and exercise once in a while!. If you want to be athletic, go for it, if not, don't!. We have the right to choose how we want to look for the most part!.

The ideal weight for anyone is a weight that you feel beautiful or good at!. If your depressed when you see your own body than you are fat!. However if everyone is telling you how skinny you are and you can see your rib cage without sucking your stomach in than your too skinny!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Not to mention that a height and weight in and of itself is not enough info to know if someone is overweight!. A body fat percentage is the only good indicator!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i think skinny people who ask if they are fat are just trying to get attention, or have really warped self esteem!. i'm 5'5 114lbs , i don't think i'm fat!. the ideal weight depends on height!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think someone could be described as fat when they can hide things in their fat rolls!. :(Www@Answer-Health@Com

your ideal weight depends on your height, your BMI takes this into account!.!.!. I think the ideal BMI is like 20-25!
