Are you as fat/thin as you should be?

It probably does annoy her a bit, but what can you do? Can't change you're metabolic rate that easily (afaik).
You people with higher metabolisms than me! I've got the fucking metabolism of a sloth
How do you check how good/bad your metabolism rate is?

I'm a bit lardy, yes, but I can't be bothered to do anything about it. I don't have an unhealthy relationship with food, I just love it and love cooking. I know I'm not unhealthy, I take the dog out for a 50 min walk twice a day plus I cycle to the shops and to friends places.
I was more bothered about being slim when I was younger, now I've hung up my marabou bra and hotpants and have stopped going to clubs its easier to hide flab under a sweater. I know some people would call that letting yourself go, but then I look at celebs around my age and older who are still working out furiously and I feel a bit sorry for them, it must be rotten not being able to sit in front of the telly with a nice cake.

Perhaps because you are not as short as me.
And minnie and 5t3IIa can bugger off with their ''I'm short'' whines too.

Well I'd imagine biddly ain't fat
I used to have a good metabolism. I could eat and eat and eat and never put on weight. I weighed between 7 and 7½ stone. Suddenly mid-20s everything seemed to slow down and I'm now quite a bit heavier

I have got a little bit of a belly, but I don't mind. It is my arteries that I am more worried about.

If you can eat loads, don't exercise much and don't put on lots of weight = high
Women: 661 + (4.38 x weight in pounds) + (4.33 x height in inches) - (4.7 x age) = BMR
Men: 67 + (6.24 x weight in pounds) + (12.7 x height in inches) - (6.9 x age) = BMR
Apparently this. BMR = 'Basal Metabolic Rate'
She may eat salad at work then binge in the evenings / mornings or take no excercise.

Absolutely
Come the revolution, those over, say, 5'8 (I'm feeling generous) will receive a legectomy, to take them back to a more suitable size.
Especially tall citizens may face a headectomy, too.
It would be cheaper to make them wear giant shoes on their knees like this.

I've only got a couple inches on you
That was how I judged metabolic rates, not what mine is... I wish!Well I'd imagine biddly ain't fat
Well, I'm not a scientist

If you are short you have got a lower centre of gravity and less likely to get blown over in high winds. So there is that, at least.

Such shoes may be acceptable as an interim option, while the leg guillotines are being built.

Sorry. I saw on wikipedia that the average British woman is between 5'3 and 5'4 and I am about 5'3 3/4" therefore precisely average. I've felt taller ever since I read that

My taller people post would have been a more appropriate quote for this comment.
But yes, there is that.
I suppose.

Quite. You are 4 and 3/4 inches taller than me.
You wouldn't get disability benefits in San Francisco.

Ah yes, the main danger of being thinner than you should be. You can eat what you like and not put on a pound, but you're never quite sure when the heart attack will strike.
Another ex-colleague was like that. Big McDonalds breakfast every day, KFC or a kebab for lunch. 2 or 3 chocolate bars a day. Great body. I give him until 38.
