Caja, of course, means box in Spanish. But in Costa Rica it also refers to someone's torso.
In the Costa Rican countryside you get used to people being openly descriptive with respect to physique. Ticos will often comment on the shape and size of cattle, as well as humans. Some people I know comment on how much skinnier or fatter I am than the last time they saw me. Apparently these things change from one day to the next.
I guess that "does this make me look fat" question is a relevant one after all.
