Women who consider themselves plump are usually fat and women who consider themselves fat are usually plump.

Someone's never met a woman.

Most women who will cry loudly in your ear about being fat are sick thin.

Actually fat women just eat another cake if they feel bad.

I think you missed the point. I wasn't really referring to people at either extreme of the fitness spectrum. I was only generalizing about people on the edge of being plump or fat.

Skinny women will call themselves fat when they are fishing for compliments or possibly reassurance. They almost always know that they aren't, unless they are anorexic or something.

The rest of the time when a skinny woman puts on 10 or 20 lbs they get a little plump, but they invariably think (accurately I should add) that they are getting fat. Fat chicks will indeed eat another piece of cake, since they rationalize it by telling themselves that they're curvy and plump.

Now at the other extreme of the spectrum there is the fat chick who has just completely given up and accepted her fatness. At this stage there is nothing left for them to identify as except "sassy" or "big" and there is usually no going back to being plump since their obesity likely started before elementary school.

A "plus-size woman".
