What I mean by "fat"

I admit I am starting this blog in large part because I have two friends who have started one and I thought it would be fun. It was definitely easy. Keeping up with it will be the challenge, and that's where the title comes in.
I recently started running (again). You see, me keeping up with running is like it is for many who quit smoking. It's easy to start running, I do it all the time. The tough part is sticking with it. What often happens is I get ready for a race, run the race, then slack off and get fat again.
When I use the term "fat" I mean it differently then 95% of the population. I use "fat" in the wrestlers sense of the word. When a wrestler says "I'm fat" that could mean anything from a tenth of a pound to 10 pounds over his or her target weight. Fat is a generic flexible term that can be used as an adjective (I'm fat), a noun (I'm wrestling their Fat), or an adverb (I'm being fat). Fat doesn't refer to BMI, weight, or body fat percentage. Simply put being fat refers to the act or acts which would make one overweight.
So after running the Men's Four Miler, I got fat. Again. And so I've started running. Again. I've literally started with 1 mile at a time.
