The men or the women, and on their heads or on their legs?

Lud: Are You fat?
Asb:Pirate is definitely not fat.
Lud: Any photo, please?

Or her sizes? (In centimeter, if I may ask. I can not imagine her shape based on sizes in inch...)



I guess that depends on what you call fat.
I feel fat some days and some days I think I look great.

Who knows what size I am in cm.

This is one of the most recent pictures I have but don't judge me, I felt grotty that day. I am in the background taking pictures and I have no idea why it looks like my legs and body are mismatched.

Haha. I said to Jamie, "apparently I'm skinny" and he said, "you are, you're certainly not fat".

Try Americans are fat. Then you might be onto something.


I know an awful lot of fat Mormon men (and fat men in general) for the record.

I probably need to lose about 20 or so pounds myself.

And anti-Mormons wonder why people laugh behind their backs...


Because they make up unsubstantiated claims and present them as serious issues; anything to get someone's attention. They are indeed in need of a physician (probably why most of them support Obamacare).

The explanation for the OP is fairly clear.

50% of Mormon women are permanently pregnant.
12.5% are depressed at not being pregnant and so they over eat.
12.5% are still carrying pregnancy weight.
12.5% are depressed at being less righteous than everyone else and so they over eat.
12.5% are depressed that they are inferior to men and so they over eat.

Um...I don't fall in any of these categories. And, I very much doubt I am alone.

Of course, I am not fat, either. :wink:

That being said, you are onto something when it comes to depression. I think I may start a new thread about Mormon women, depression, and comfort foods.
