    I am overweight, on the BMI scale anyways.

    But in an office setting, I’m rather normal sized. Put me in a line of 100 people, and I’m easily in the top 20 of not fat.

    When I went to event in Europe and Asia, my God… I’m so fat. I was easily the fattest person at dinner, as I was ordering a meal and appetizers, then cleaning my plate.

    I feel like I won the lottery as I am in my target weight. Only takes not eating the things I love and enjoy and exercise a bunch. So happy 😕

    […] the condition health researchers refer to as “overweight” was defined as having a body mass index, or BMI, of 25 kilograms per square meter (kg/m²) to less than 30 kg/m² and obesity as a BMI of 30 kg/m² or higher.

    What if you have someone who is really thin from the side but really fat from the front?
