Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for December 14, 2019

Ho-ho-hobese.

Okay. Maybe that app is accurate after all!

but well preserved…

Santa must be nose dialing. That glove looks to be too thick.

BMI is a very crude indicator. Clearly 40 is bad and there is probably a lower limit where you are clinically dead.

I had a friend who is as tall as I am. He went on the Adkin’s diet and lost weight. His belly still hung out over his belt. I weigh more than he does, however I am muscular (my doctor’s words). Yet my BMI is higher than his.

I also know a woman who was in danger of getting kicked out of the Air Force for being underweight. I met her after not seeing her for a while and said, “Kathy, you put on some weight; you look great! Nice to see you now that there’s more of you to see!”

HO HO HO!

It’s hard to keep a doe profile.

Note to Santa: In that case, think Peanut Butter!

My BMI must be Ben & Jerry’s Chubby Hubby.

To quote Wilma Flintstone: “Make your hobby hubby, and keep your hubby happy, if you have a chubby hubby, you’ll have a happy pappy”.

I like that! Very good!

Ho, ho, ho.

Body shaming Santa? You just made the naughty list :)

I resemble that remark.

I thought the AMA had switched to the yogurt standard for body mass index.
