I read somewhere that one ‘rule of thumb’ to determine whether your body shape is pear-shaped is as follows: if you measure your shoulder width and your hip width (the widest part of your hip, ie. the widest part of your butt), and your hip width is wider than your shoulder width, then you are pear-shaped.

So I got the Boy to measure it for me:
– shoulder (eye-balling the width): 35cm
– hip (eye-balling the width): 31cm
– shoulder (following the perimeter): 42cm
– hip (following the perimeter): 40cm

Conclusion: I’m not pear-shaped! YAYYYYY!!!!

“You’re inverted pear-shaped!” says the Boy.
