My similar test is that if I poke my belly and can find my finger again, it's all good. *tries it* Not good.

*Tries it too*. Oh. Not good either.

Robert, will you please get your finger out of my belly please? It's quite irritating.

Sorry. 
I can't. I'm stuck.

If you can put your finger nearly all the way inside your belly button, that is bad. I read somewhere that if you can grab over an inch of fat on your belly you're over weight. hmmmmmm
What about a foot of fat? Is that bad?

I wish there was a home liposuction kit that I could do when my clothes became a little tight. The amount I'm spending on clothes at the moment because I'm losing weight is mad. I'm scared to throw any old ones away just in case I put it back on again. This all equals a over flowing wardrobe of clothes I can't wear.

Tough times... I'm sure you'll get over it.

I'm sure I will. Didn't realise how pathetic I sounded. Ignore me.

As whether one is overweight or not depends on one's age, weight and height - not fat - that is almost certainly total bollocks.

Somebody needs some belts.

I'm a weird shape... belts don't really help.
Glue?

Glue my trousers to my body?
Yes.
Also a good contraceptive.
