What a shocker! Just decided to work out whether or not I'm still considered obese or have I been downgraded to the overweight tag! My BMI has gone from 42 (at my heaviest) to 34 now. Guess what, I'm still obese! My overweight BMI is 26-30....another goal to work towards. Who decided that a little extra flesh= overweight? My intention is to stay feminine and not become a toothpick! Ok, so toothpick is a little too farfetched. According to a physio when I was 16, I have childbearing hips (great information to hear), do toothpicks have big hips these days??
Now I want to clarify something before I end up with no friends or family. I am not saying that there is anything wrong with being overweight or obese. I am just saying that for me, I had a problem with it. I would never think any less of anyone that decided that they didn't have a problem with it. Your choice. I did not feel comfortable. Another point to note is that although I took the option of lapband this may not be the correct decision for everyone. If you can do it naturally, well great thats fantastic! If you need to have gastric bypass done, excellent well done on that choice. I am glad that I made my choice. My parents did everything to try and talk me out of taking this step. They have been on a crusade to lose weight and have done so in leaps and bounds. Good for them, I'm proud. I just didnt want to wait until I was 50 and think that it was time to do something.
Trying to pinpoint the exact moment that weight became an issue would be hard. I have constantly felt that I was the largest person in the room. Even when I look back at some photos today, I can't understand why I felt that way. What I wouldn't give to have back the body I had 15 years ago. Being that I'm 30, if your any good at maths, you will figure out that that means I have not been happy with my body for half my life! Stuff waiting until I'm 50! So if 50 is supposed to be the new 40, that makes 30 the new 20! Yay!
Ok so gotta run........alright well walk (with my childbearing hips that is)
Until then.....
*New invention - toothpicks with big hips for those wanting to be stick thin
