Also: Why do you care what other people think about your height and weight ratio?
In all seriousness, doesn’t everybody care about what others think of their bodies?

NP: I"m 48 and I really don't care what anyone besides my husband I think about my body. I'm 5'7' and 160 lbs. Could I stand to lose some weight? Sure but, frankly, I'm unwilling to do what it takes. My husband is happy and I'm at peace with it. Everyone else: if you're judging my mom bod, that's on you.
