Is being fat or skinny offensive?!
Question: yes it can be....in most cases it can be taken as an insult esp if you're directing it to a person. when you asked that question, you could have offended a quite of few people who are excessively overweight or underweight.
although you probably meant well, with no pun intended, here is my ADVICE to you [and others]: always choose your words carefully and take time out to see how you would feel if those/certain words were addressed to you. as they say "think before you speak {in this case,write}
* instead of using the word "fat" say "overweight" or "plus
size"
* instead of using the word "skinny" say "slim", "slender "
or "thin"
