Then one day I realized it. I dont remember what brought this realization on, but when it came, all of a sudden, I was a fat person. This allowed me to realize I had to make some changes, I had to lose weight.

So I guess I'm saying for me, its not all bad to see myself as a fat person if I am one, as long as I dont let it limit me and feed back in a negative way. as long as I use it for motivation.
