[quote=Anonymous]My family are generally quite tall however Johnny is not tall for his age which is probably contributing to his supposed obesity. And yes he is the first child or person in the family to have grown so fat and I have noticed that his belly seems to accumulate more fat than other parts of him, which sort of explains why his belly fat comes out so much when he sits down or is in his speedo trunks (which are thinner so don't support the weight of his belly which is why it makes him look a lot fatter). Trousers only seem to be tight around the waist and the same with shirts. Although his chest is chubby he has not got very fat 'man boobs' and most of the problem with school shirts is buttoning them up around the belly button and below (where it sticks out the most - coming over his belt a tiny bit). So I think you may be on to something with the 'pear shaped' body size thing, however it does not really alleviate the concern.[/quote]
