Frightening how close to obese I am then, with a BMI of 26.9.
Point being, the popular conception of 'obese' is something off of a 'Fat Boy Slim' album cover... some lard arse wobbling down the road with a thick shake. It seems it's closer to home than that. WHO might have us believe (perhaps rightly) that those 'love handles' are obesity but that's not the popular definition of the word.
