So get this . . . I'm obese!! I had no idea! Here I am thinking I'm chubby, round, curvy, or fat and I'm obese! I was googling weight loss, exercise, recipes etc and I come across a BMI calculator. A BMI will say if you're underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese. I enter my height and weight and get a BMI of 33. A BMI of over 30 = OBESE!! I then looked a little further down the chart to see how much I have to lose to squeak into the overweight category. 22 pounds. I wish I knew at the time that I was gaining the weight that I was crossing that line.
On April 5th, 2010, I typed this line in my journal:
"I was 201.4 this morning. I don’t know what it’s going to take for me to snap out of it. A miracle."
Sometime that week, I passed 203 pounds. Sometime that week, I crossed the line from overweight to obesity and I didn't even know! Between you & me, it was likely partway through a Whopper, pizza, or Sausage McGriddle. UGH!! So not worth it! I never thought I'd say this but . . . I wanna be overweight!!!
But now that you know that, you know what you need to do to change it. Maybe set a goal to lose those 22 pounds and think of a reward for yourself for when you do. A pound or two a week is the way to go to ensure maintenance. I will help you out in any way I can for as long as you want me too. :)
ReplyDeleteWell, ironically enough, WW first goal is 10% of your weight which just happens to be . . . drum roll . . . 22 pounds! Ahaha!
