Allo!

I have no idea whether I have fluid retention/asceties (or whatever it's called) because I can't tell if it's that or whether I am just plain fat.

I am a size 14/16. My belly has always been the biggest bit of me, and my arms too. I can press my stomach in so it is flat (and pull it up so it is flat - about size 10 from the side) without discomfort or feeling like I've trapped wind or anything. I can also smoosh it around (it isn't hard) and if I sit down and bend over, I can firmly grab the layers of flab (nice!) and if I sliced downwards, they'd be gone. I can almost pinch all the way through the flab layer so my fingers meet.

Is this water retention or fat, do you think??
