Weight Loss Level Up!
I reached my first goal weight--a twenty pound loss. Go me!
This is my first goal, the one where I told myself I could say, "You're done now. You can stop if you want." But I'm going to keep going, see if I can lose another ten pounds.
The BMI charts say I should really lose fifteen more pounds, but if I did that, I'd look like a stick. The BMI charts are real bullshit, you know? They don't take into account age, gender, or body type. Yeah, I'm tall, but I'm also stocky. I have big, heavy bones. I can't encircle my wrist with my own hand even though the bones are showing, for example, which puts me in the "stocky frame" category. (If your fingers meet around your wrist, you have an average frame, and if they overlap, you have a slender frame.) MI assumes everyone has an average frame. BMI also ignores muscle-to-mass ratio. A bodybuilder is obese on the BMI scale, for example.
So anyway, if I lose ten more pounds, I'm good!
And go me, again!
