sharper angle to them. You appear taller than you really are.

buttocks area.You have probably noticed that any weight you gain will appear from
the waist down. This weight will stubbornly lodge itself on your hips and thighs. If
you become extremely overweight, you may take on a decidedly PEAR shape.

and form over comfort.

slightly wider or narrower. You will have a waist line and tend to a pot belly. You
have hips with a slightly rounded derriere. Your most noticeable traits are that

are very overweight, you will always have a definite waistline.

usually soft and rounded. See Step 7 for ideas on hairstyles, glasses and jewelry.

free spirit that enjoys a variety of things. Having a free form artistic expression in
all you wear or do is your mantra.
