when i was younger i used to believe that the however deep your belly button was was how much extra fat you had on your stomach. i thought that if you were the weight you were supposed to be that your belly button would be completely flat with your body instead of sunken in. also if you had an outie then that meant you were too skinny. basically fat people had innies and anorexics had outies. get it? weird huh
