Anyways, this is just your daily reminder that the BMI is bullshit, I am literally at the healthiest that I’ve been (cardiovascular and muscle wise) and because I put on so much muscle mass, I’m considered level one obese now.
#this was brought on by a project I had to do in the school#yes America has a really high obesity rate and yes it is because in part of our food#but like throughout the whole video throughout the whole assignment no one mentioned#The scale that they’re using to determine this is the BMI#aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa#fun fact I’m level one obese#according to the BMI#because like I’m 145lbs and like 4’11-5ft if we’re counting my hair puff#(there’s a reason why I always wear a ponytail to the doctors so they can make me taller)#anyways besides my point#according to all my doctors including my cardiologist#I am literally healthier than when I first moved out west#BMI does not take into account your muscle mass#your bone density#fat distribution#where you are on your menstrual cycle?#The whole 9 yards#it is one of the worst ways to measure your health#fatphobia#fat issues#also#because of that my insurance treats me differently#that’s right despite me literally being really healthy and most of my weight being muscle#that I have to keep on unless my EDS gets worse#it is hell I am in hell and this is hell#I hate living in hell I hate living in hell I hate living in hell I hate living in hell#worst possible motherfucking timeline#literally my insurance was giving me less issue when I was less healthy because I technically wasn’t obese then#The world ended in 2012
