Big Boned?

[ThinnerJemima]

I was eavesdropping yesterday and I heard a couple of women discussing the plumpness of someone they know. The not quite so gossipy one was trying to be a bit nicer saying that such-and-such was 'big boned'........

Is this a myth and it's just a nicer way of saying your just a bit fat??

 

[Adorabelle]

Yes. It's the "nice" way to say that someone is on the verge of being fat without being exactlly to the point where kids throw stones at you

When heard in terms of gossip, its obviously just a slightly nicer way of suggesting someone is overweight but it's true that underneath our skin, fat, flesh and muscles we all have different skeleton sizes. There are 3 basic bone structures: Endomorph which is a bigger and broader boned body
Ectomorph which is more slender and smaller boned body
Mesomorph which is a more medium sized body
...................body fat is still body fat though, just attached to different sized bones!

Thanks JoJo

Sadly I think that I am an endomorph. Oh and just a bit fat

I am officially endomorph (honestly, GP measured me) which he reckons is why I have no aches, pains, health problems despite being so overweight.

Can't wait to lose the suet so I can JUST be big boned!!
