BMI

On a few selected days I have been calculating my BMI. All charts and calculators have told me that I am considered to be healthy and have an appropriate BMI for my height and weight. I wanted to investigate further and to see how far I would have to go to be considered as un-healthy. I was glad to discover that I can still lose another ten to twelve kilos and still be considered healthy, although I would be close to pushing the boundaries, I love it.

I have heard that some people were a little worried about my 2007 weight loss, which wasn't even an extreme change. Ten kilo sounds a lot, but it doesn't look it. If I was being totally serious about it and stayed consistent through out the year with my diet and exercise you would probably see me in hospital battling with a disorder. Seriously, losing two kilos a week is not un-ordinary.

Mum use to body build and almost killed herself down to 55 kilo when she was in her thirties. I know when to stop and I have family around me who make sure I am eating and balancing that act with exercise.

You think those "friends" who were truly worried and cared would say something to me about it. However, if there were any of you who were freaking out that I wasn't going to be the fat girl anymore, read now, that I am healthy and that when I take on 2008 and choose to drop even more weight I will still remain healthy.

Sometimes I do wish I didn't care about my weight, but I think I always will unless I wish I was naturally slim or look the way I want. I like making goals to focus on and challenges to shock people.
