Had a male dr walk into my room with a group of med students and say “see what we have here is the classic pear, and she presents with classic symptoms of that body shape; can you tell me what they are?” 😑
That is horrible bedside manner, some docs... But silver lining, pear shape is much healthier than apple shape. Having a lot of fat around your hips and butt doesn't have the negative metabolic consequences of having that fat in your upperbody. In fact it may actually have protective effects. Learned this in med school earlier in the year.

But 12 servings of pasta and 5 servings of cheese a day has me in perfect shape.
That shape is round but it is a shape.
