"Stomach rolls" That's just a stomach.

Stomachs can buckle like that when you bend, it's normal. If you're worried about that then society has got you paranoid.

If you're obese you're obese, but "stomach rolls" don't mean you're obese.

Im bordering to being underweight (BMI of 20.1 and yes I know BMI is not an accurate scale but still) and I have stomach rolls. It is the most normal thing ever.

That's why they put stomach rolls on skyscrapers. Under heavy winds, if it doesn't stomach rolls, it breaks!

Your comment probably helped ease a lot of people’s insecurities

social media will repeatedly show you all sorts of things including like chemmed up and knifed up muscle men and beauty queens that make people doubt the normalcy of their own bodies

Social media is a fucking poison for the mind. I happen to have stereotypically looking body cause some malabsorption probably but even I feel like total shit from 5 minutes of browsing insta. If I feel so bad then what about obese people or waist to hip ratio above 0.75 women so like fucking 70%?
I know them all the golden ratios, hip dips and what not, bubbly butt regimens, corset types, BBL death rate all this shit is stuck up there in the head.
It’s like some kind of song on repeat „do stomach vacuums to lower your waist to hip ratio without growing your core muscles” „drink carbonated water with lemon 30 minutes before breakfast”

This is the kind of knowledge that is not only fucking useless but also actively takes valuable space when you are trying to remember about ancient goddess

have you tried becoming a corvid? its a great life. Steal shiny things from big dumb humans, scream at the top of your lungs at all hours of the day, poop on cars

and occasionally torment an alcoholic horror author

Wow this is such a great life, but what if I am an ant then we would be enemies

I'd say someone obese wouldn't have these "rolls". Source: I am fat.

Depends on how one thinks about rolls it seems.

Option 1: Stomach rolls are inherently bad, and the stomach in the statue does not have rolls.

Option 2: Anytime a stomach folds over, especially with more than one crease, that is a stomach roll. Stomach rolls are not inherently bad.

Options 3 to infinity: Other opinions I have not yet considered.

I believe what option 2 states and honestly had never considered any other ways of thinking about it. Others may have different opinions. I'm interested in hearing them.
