I totally feel you on the self deprication survival instinct. I also struggled with my weight all through school, and being the first one to call myself fat helped deter others since I already made the joke.

Turns out calling yourself fat all the time isn't much better than others doing it though, as I now have quite the complex about eating, exercise, body image, etc.
