2. that thing you’re carrying around more of than the childhood trauma that’s weighing you down just as much. see also: TONY SOPRANO
Example of adipose in a Sentence
Some would say I’m obese because I eat too much and the amount of adipose in my body is greater than the amount of lean mass. Me? I would say I’m big boned and that’s what’s responsible for what the scale says. I guess we’ll just have to have a difference of opinion!
