What do you classify as chubby, fat and obese?

I'm interested to see everyone's perspective, whether you want to post pics or just a description of each.

Chubby - likely in a healthy weight range, maybe slightly overweight. Just carries fat in the stomach area. (I fall into this category)

Fat - Overweight or obese (I don't use this word to describe people because it seems rude. Usually, I describe myself as "fat" when I'm ACTING fat lol, like eating a tub of ice cream.)

Obese - This is a medical term to define a person's weight relative to their height (or BMI, but I hear that system has flaws to it). A person can be underweight, healthy weight, overweight, or obese. But as a general rule, I assume a person is obese if they are completely round-shaped.

Chubby: visible fat that is socially excusable.
Fat: visible fat that is socially inexcusable.
Obese: not visible. Health condition regarding body fat percentage.

here's a good body fat percentage chart. anything 25-28 is chubby, 28-32 is overweight. and above is obese in my opinion

Chubby -A little extra fat in some places, doesn't look bad, kinda cute to me lol
Fat - Distinctly overweight and your natural shape is lost
Obese - Extremely fat and it is drastically affecting your health

Use BMI us a first impression. And a more accurate one is to look at the muscle/fat ratio. That is the most objective classification.
