Is being fat sometimes subjective?

[Anonymous]

I used to know one dude, who constantly picked me on my body and said I'm chubby and need to work out or that I'm thick and look like a fat cow, although most people that know me in real life, say I'm healthy or have a nice shape

I believe it has to do with an individual's personal and cultural preferences, as well as his/her background. Some people will just call fat, anyone with a BMI over 18, who doesn't look like a model

Of course it is, just because someone sees some belly down automatically label you as such.

Yes it is subjective and he's an asshole. If you're happy with the way you look that's all that matters. His opinion shouldn't matter to you

Depends. There are medical definitions to obesity.
