My BMI is 21 and my BMP is 21. Reckons I am spot on but I have a beer belly. Hate it. Am I happy? Too right I am so I doubt I will change my lifestyle.


You dont have a beer belly, you have a Southern Comfort belly

Granted, potentially the guy was simply saying something more reasonable but chose his words poorly, but I *very* much doubt that's the case. I'm quite happy to stick with the assumption that he was a shallow, self-absorbed ****. It's very rarely not the case, in my experience.

He IS a shallow self absorbed **** who never sustains relationships really. Funny that!

I'd prefer neither thankyou. "Portly" or "Stout" if you must, in the manner of a Victorian gentlemen *grows muttonchop whiskers and a disdain for orphan guttersnipes".

I'm told Marilyn Munroe was a size 16 (UK presumably) and that actors and actresses appeared thinner due to screensize changes. A film done in widescreen appeared on tv screens with the figures looking a fair bit thinner? Films are not my speciality subject but sounds likely to me.

Along with portly and stout my vote would be for voluptuous and the diet starts tomorrow ......

I was always of the opinion that being fat was less than being obese. If you are fat, then you are not thin. If you are obese, you are very fat - perhaps too fat.

But I understand that in this day and age, it's all about buzzwords.
