    Aww really? Sorry. I wasn't trying to be inappropriate. It's just supposed to be a yoga pose.

    I was saying that I can't sit like this in office. :tongue:

    It would make for an interesting day though...

    This conversation is why I ALWAYS sit like this:

    Let gravity put the rolls in a different place. ;)

    not office appropriate...had to say...

    Yeah, makes it real hard to type when you sit like that.

    Actually, there was a photographer who did a project on this very subject. I will see if I can find some links. However, the conclusion was everyone they photographed, models to overweight had "rolls" and "lower belly pooch" when sitting.

    My bf% is somewhere in the 17% range and my stomach is pretty firm now. When I sit down I do get a bit of a wrinkle, but my stomach has carried three babies for nine months a piece, so I'm pretty darn proud of it :wink:

    This reminds me of my other curiosity: naturally thin people, I mean as thin as runway models, must have very low body fat as well...so her 15% must look different than a fitness model who packs on muscle with lower body fat on top...so a runway model may actually show a bigger pooch than a fitness model? I don't know...

    It's natural volume displacement, your skin and muscle have to move somewhere. Naturally out and down, so unless you are constantly flexing all the time and holding your muscles in a contract fashion, well yeah its physics.

    that's not always the case - that naturally thin people have low body fat. You just can't see it so well when they walk tall, with a straight back.

    I wouldn't even begin to guess, but I wouldn't think it was low just because they're stick thin.

    Wait, is having a flat stomach when sitting now "a thing" I'm supposed to care about?

    Between this and a "thigh gap," I just can't keep up with all of the physical insecurities I'm apparently supposed to have.
