A friend said I am chubby

[Newmummmm]

I have nc for this.

So, just been out for a walk with my friend and she's one of those friends that tells it how it is. She's very open and honest about things and it's one of my favourite traits about her. We were having a good old chat about life etc and then I told her how I was on a diet as I'm trying to lose about 7 pounds. We spoke about it for a bit and then I asked her "Be honest, do you think I'm fat?" and she replied "No, your definitely not fat, just a little chubby". I want to point out, I'm not offended in anyway, I wouldn't of asked her otherwise because I knew she'd be honest and I also know I need to lose weight, hence me on a diet. But, is she trying to be a little polite by saying that? Is chubby just a nicer way of putting it?

I think if you’re that honest with each other that she’s comfortable calling you chubby then I’d accept that merely ‘chubby’ is her actual opinion!

Chubby is sort of cute-sounding whereas fat is insulting. It's a loaded question, though.

"Chubby" just means a little bit fat, but not massively so. Your friend thinks you're a bit fat, but not obese. "Fat' is not an insult, just a statement of fact. I'm fat.

I think she meant you're not fat you just have a few lbs to lose

It wasn't an unsolicited comment from your friend. YABU

Chubby means ‘a bit plump’ not fat. At least that’s what I think it means?

Be thankful for an honest friend.
And she told you as it is.
Not rude , just honest.

And you asked her 😊

Well, plump means a bit fat, so if someone is chubby they are a bit fat.

it was a bit shit of you to put her in that position tbh
