This Blog's Purpose

The purpose of this blog is solely for me. The entries are nothing but my ramblings. I do no proofreading, no editing, no filtering. 100% honest thoughts. Will this help me lose weight? I don't know. We'll see. "They" say to keep a weight-loss journal. I've never done it in the past, and that didn't really work. So now I'm going to try it. I'm not sure who needs more luck, me, or anyone who comes across this blog and actually reads it!

WARNING!!!

This blog contains pictures that may not be suitable for some viewers.
Viewing this blog may cause side effects such as nausea and vomiting.
Do not view immediately prior to or following a meal. Unless, of course, you're trying to lose weight also, then I'm sure the pictures on this site will be a great appetite suppresant!

Body Mass Index

I think the whole “Body Mass Index” is completely stupid.  I have always thought so.  How can they take a number and generalize that anyone that weight/height is overweight or obese?  According to their little chart, if I weigh more than 165 I am obese.  Not overweight, OBESE!  What?  I’m currently extremely obese because my BMI is 35.1.  30 is obese (to be 30 I’ll have to weigh 165).  According to the index, normal for me should be like 105.  What the hell ever!  Even when I’ve been my most fit, lowest weight, training for a marathon, I was at 135.  That is right at the line for “overweight”.  So stupid.  The only time I got close to 100 was when I was anorexic in high school.  I don’t know why I even looked at the chart.  I was curious.  Now I’m angry.  So stupid!
