you probably are :)
I really liked that song because it helped my son a great deal when he was younger. He seemed to go from being a thin person to a fat person overnight when he needed to go on medications that he'll be on for life.
He was being taunted by children calling him "fatso"
I spoke to his doctor about it and she said, "what do you want? A healthy son or a very sick son?" The answer was obvious.
To get him through being teased i used to dance around the house doing housework and singing the "I'm Fat" song. My son couldn't help but laugh, especially when my own weight increased when i became addicted to chocolates
He's much older now, still big, ( cuddly;) ) and handsome, and he has no problem with the "fat" word :)
