Facebook has removed the 'fat' option from its list of status "feelings" available to users - after thousands said it was offensive.
Members of the social network can choose from a number of status updates with a corresponding emoji face when using the prefix "feeling".
Examples of feelings available include 'discouraged' - accompanied by a sad face - and 'amazed' - featuring an emoji face surrounded by stars.
But it was the fat status, featuring a bloated face, which provoked outrage.
A Change.org petition gathered almost 17,000 signatures arguing that fat is not a feeling, and that the image was derisive.
Playwright Catherine Weingarten, who set up the petition, said: "As someone who has struggled with and overcome disordered eating, I know what it's like to 'feel' fat.
"I have spent years of my life consumed with negative thoughts about my body, and far too many days starving myself in an effort to lose weight.
"But even worse than the skipped meals and the hours spent obsessing in front of the mirror was the fear of what others thought about me and my body.
"Fat is not a feeling. Fat is a natural part of our bodies, no matter their weight. And all bodies deserve to be respected and cared for."
Facebook has removed the 'fat feeling', and replaced it with the word 'stuffed'. The fat face emoji remains.
