Because combating the feeling of “fat day” is about how you feel about the way you look, not whether or not you’re “attractive” to other people or “flattering” your body. It’s about how YOU feel.

“Huge” thighs are sexy, anyway!

sorry to be mean but i stumbled on this and just had to say that those shorts are hideous on u!! they make ur thighs look huge!
not a good way to combat a “fat day”!!! why not just wear something flattering?

[...] does fat mean to you?: Debate sparked and fizzled over Jen’s post entitled “I Had a Fat Day.” Written off the cuff, it inspired more introspection and conversation than either of us [...]

Hmm, today’s my fat day. But it wasn’t a fat day until I stepped on the scale for my weekly weigh in as soon as I woke up to find out I gained 4.2 pounds! Is it me or is it the 73% humidity outside??
Needless to say I cursed and fumed, went for a walk and then put on a cute little sundress which, oddly, didn’t fit at the beginning of the summer. So my scale says it’s a fat day. The dress says otherwise.

I’m 5’7″, weigh 170 lbs. and wear a size 12 and practically LIVE in shorts. I think “fat” is just a state of mind. If you believe you’re sexy, you are. I’ve never stopped myself from wearing anything because I was “too fat”.

Just commented on the debate at @TheDemoiselles latest post, about "fat days." What does it mean? Is "fat" a dirty word? http://is.gd/1xbJ3

That is such a good article – in fact, it’s referenced in another Demoiselles post, Calling All Extremists (http://thedemoiselles.com/archives/calling-all-extremists).

As far as those shorts go, I think you should pull them back out. The guy that yelled at you is likely insecure about something himself…others are just mature enough not to make him feel bad about it.

There’s an interesting article on 39th and Broadway on a similar topic, about Beth Ditto and out obsession with extremes of body size.

I don’t think I’ve worn shorts since the day 7 years ago when I was walking to the shop and a bloke shouted “CELLULITE!” out of a passing car.
