I'm sure some people will just say "Yeah, he's a fatty that's lying to himself." Others will believe me, possibly because I can't think of any reason to lie about it.

And I happen to think my legs are short for my height, and my arms are a bit long. It's worked out quite well for me.

But my point was simply that the number will seem hard to believe for many people if they don't realize that the layman word "obese" means something slightly different than the medical term.
