Flame me if you must, but a 40 inch waist for men is more than just pudgy. It’s FAT.

[EvilCapitalist]

Makes me think of Jackie Gleason as Sheriff Buford T. Justice.

You won’t get any flames from me. I have a 32 inch waist.

[Responsibility2nd]

NO donut watch ping.

33 or 34 here. Let’s everyone post their waist size.

The term used by the AMA is “obease”

[EvilCapitalist]

It’s been 24 years, but I think I was a 28 inch waist when I graduated High School.

Porky pigs.

That's fat shaming!!!

[EvilCapitalist]

You should get the Zot for posting that.

Shaquille O’Neal has a 48” waist. I know he’s an anomaly, but you probably shouldn’t call him fat, if you’re within reach.

33, though cutting season has begun...

[EvilCapitalist]

At 7’1” a 48” waist probably doesn’t make him fat.

[Celtic Conservative]

I’m 6’4”. At my slimmest I was 255 pounds and had a 42” waist. I did not have an ounce of fat on me. You might not want to keep painting with that broad brush.

“if you’re within reach.”

LOL Good one.

When the waists are deemed too large, officers are put on a fitness improvement plan that sets eating and exercise goals.

I guess some are using too much leather in their Sam Broooooooooooooooooooooooown belts. This is by far, not isolated to Texas DPS. Granted, it’s hard to outrun the radio or helicopter, but on foot, some of these guys don’t have a prayer in a foot chase.

Your Body Mass Index is 31.

Over 30 is considered obese.

“Let’s everyone post their waist size.”

...ok! I went from a 35 to a 33 inch on the Mediterranean Diet in 2 months! That said, I’d rather have a pudgy “rule of law” Sheriff any day over a skinny, latte drinking PC millennial!!
