Are you fat?

There are so many threads on here where people say 'I'm a size 8 but I feel flabby' or 'no wonder teenagers have a poor body image when people who are size 16 or 18 think they're big'
I'm a big 16. I am 5 ft nearly 5 and weigh just under 14 stone.
I feel less fat than I did 3 stone ago, I would class myself as chubby but my fatness doesn't turn heads.
So... Do you think you're fat?

I don't feel fat but then I don't feel thin! I'm 5'6" and weigh 11 stone - wear a 12-14 bottom and 12 top - wobbly bits on tummy and boobs Thanks kids! I was a size 16-18 with a binge eating problem. Since I found low carb (which I eat approx 80% of the time) I can maintain my weight and don't feel the need to binge any more. I'm in my 40s and perimenopausal so know I need to watch it but no I do not feel fat. I don't worry about wearing a bikini etc

Yes, very very very fat - 100% due to my lack of self control around sugary food and being married to an amazing baker Grin

I'm currently 14 stone 12 lbs at 5'7.5 - not sure about true dress size as label says 16 but my aunt's 16s from 20 years ago barely fit. I've started a regime I heard about on MN (5:2 diet) and my goal is to be 11 stone by End of December. If I meet my goal I'm taking myself on a 2 week solo journey through India as a prize!
