Alternatively, you probably already know your waist and height, so you could double the former and see if the result is less than the latter. This would save you the trouble of hunting around for the string, eventually finding it in that drawer full of oddments in the kitchen, and then having to disentangle it from an old hairbrush, three plugs, and some parts from a long-broken alarm clock.

Hunting for some string will at least give the fatties some much needed exercise.

If the string disappears when you put it round your middle, you're too fat.
