"Overweight" is a fat-shaming term in itself and it is loaded with social stigma and devaluation...

[-] OopsOverbombing@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Overweight is an adjective. It is absolutely not a fat shaming term. As a former fat kid I can attest there are far worse terms than being called "overweight" and I'm genuinely curious why you have such an issue with a non-issue word?

Overweight is descriptive of people that are over the healthy weight/fat in body range. It is proven that being over the healthy range has increased risks of having health complications.

I am overweight. If you have over 25% of fat in body, you are overweight. If you have over 30, you are obese. I am obese right now. Working on it.

If you want to load stigma into terms you do you, but I am not.
