    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 😕

    A dying nation indeed. It’s hard to keep your weight low/on target with all the shit we have to sift through at grocery stores to get something that is not pure chemicals. And if your metabolism is on the slow side, it’s even worse. Mine is and I have to be very careful and keep exercising.

    […] 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?
