Oh and one more thing I think as adults its easier for us to be called or thought of (by others or ourselves) as fat. We are more mature and dont usually fall into TOO much emotional tourmoil from it. But kids are way more sensitive to everything growing up. Trying to find themselves and all. Im fat, I know Im fat, I know people know Im fat hehehe, But I would still give someone an earful for calling me that to my face because everyone is flawed somehow.
