This is your warning that you may have to do simple math in your head.
I equal slightly more than 2 obese alimartells.
In no shame to her, my pocket pal, alimartell, wrote about being fat-pinch measured as “obese” in all of her 104 pounds. I don’t care what the arbitrary charts and medical field jargon say about what is obese, what is normal, and what is underweight.
When an adult woman is roughly the size Justin Bieber, she is not obese.
I can basically nom on an alimartell and not need a post-dinner nap.
I fit more on my plate at the Churrascaria* than what alimartell weighs.
The medical and health professionals can spout all the fat-to-body mass ratios they want, but if you can use the word “obese” do describe both mine and alimartell’s body conditions, there’s something wrong with the definition.
*If you are unfamiliar with a Churrascaria, it’s basically 1/2 massive buffet of deliciousness and 1/2 handsome Brazilian men walking around slicing off varieties of all-you-can-eat meat onto your plate. From here is where the term “Meat Sweats” was coined.

Wait, so if a train leaves Toronto carrying @alimartell while at the same time a train leaves Orlando carrying @alotofnothing at what point do they meet up at a Cheesecake Factory for a giant dish of Roadside Sliders?

mmmm….Cheesecake Factory.
Seriously though. The word OBESE needs to be stricken from everyone’s lexicon. It’s the worst word ever.
Who the hell fat-pinched alimartell and then deemed her obese?!
Just after Christmas my daughter’s asshat paediatrician did her measurements (fully 75th percentile) then for some reason decided to do a BMI…on a 4 year old. Turns out she comes out at the 90ish percentile (I re-did it at home) and she declared her overweight. My see-her-ribs, clothes-fall-off, never sit still daughter is overweight. I have so much rage at this and the discussion we had…I really should blog about it.

Obese is an idiotic word. And that picture of you two is adorable.
Super cute picture. Super bad word (obese, that is). They have their charts, they have their guidelines, but what they forget to use is their freaking common sense.
