You are absolutely right - "I feel fat" never means "I feel fat." It's a security blanket - a scratchy, holey, dirty one. Thanks for saying this all so eloquently.

I like your breakdown of that phrase. It's such a loaded comment and yet too often we don't really pay attention to the reasons behind why we're saying it. Good idea!

Even at a young age, looking at life through them can help you to grow. My 2YO daughter and I have had a couple inadvertent conversations about bodies that have made me think. http://sillymommysays.blogspot.com/2008/04/to-have-body-image-of-2-year-old.html Found you on Blogher - you're doing a great job, thanks!

As posted a while back I got a rude wake up call when it comes to kids and this 'fat' word. I make a conscious effort to not use it in front of my children (and perhaps it will stick with me) but typically I work to teach her something I have been unable to teach myself - doesn't mean I won't stop trying! ~K I think it’s a great idea, but I don’t know if personally I will ever be able to banish the thought from my brain.

I especially worry about this in regards to having kids. I don't want them to go through what I had too and I worry sometimes if I'll repeat the disastrous cycle (since people tend to do that). I hope not too, which is why I'm not in a rush to have kids but do worry about it. Sometimes I wonder when or if my body battle will ever be finished.
