Here's my problem with the waist to height ratio. I am 1.5" shorter than I used to be plus I have excess skin in the area of my waist due to weight loss. In other words the changes my body has undergone as I have aged skew my results in the less favorable direction. I still look OK by this metric but just barely. Presently I am looking at what I eat, realizing that I could hardly do better in that department (sure I could tweak this or that but why bother?), so, like Thud, I would rather just paddle out and catch a wave, figuratively speaking.
