I stand at a pretty normal 5ft 2 and a half and I weigh 11stone. Dead on, no less, no more. And I wear a UK 14.
So just for something to do I checked my BMI (Body Mass Index) and it's 28.5. I am extremely overweight, bordering on obese actually.
Now, myy mum said it's because of my body shape. I have a 38" chest, making me a FF cup size. Pretty big I know, but it's all natural. A 30" waist and 32" hips.
I don't see myself as fat, I know I could be thinner and I probably should be. But when I see that i should be 8stone and a size 6 it makes me sick.
If you look at the chart for the BMI everybodies overweight or underweight, it's hard to be your ideal weight. And it's degrading and really damages your self esteem.
Personally, I do worry about my weight. I know I'm not fat but some of myy friends are uber skinny and that does change how i look at myself.
What on earth to politicians know about a persons ideal weight anyway? They worry so much about people being obese that they will allow people to develop fuckign eating disorders so they look like they have healthy.
Its not right.
