So are you saying obesity is wonderful?

Yes, I am.

All bodies deserve to be celebrated. ALL FUCKING BODIES.

Also, fuck the term "obesity". It's a made-up faux medical word created to other and pathologize a normal part of human life. Just like "overweight". Over what weight? The random number that was chosen with the creation of the BMI as the magic good number in 1985 or the one that it randomly changed to literally overnight in 1998, magically making 29 million more Americans "overweight" and thus eligible for insurance funded medical interventions that neither work nor are needed.

If you aren't just being a troll, check out Yes Virginia, BMI is BS – Dances With Fat Ragen explains it better than I can.

Dude I hate BMI chapter 40292

Cant get top surgery until my BMI is below 30 and Im like OK I already have a healthy diet and run a mile every other day and have an active work so please tell me what eating disorder I gotta do 😒

Im gonna nuke Arasaka /joking/

But hey look theres a lot of things you can do to better your health, start simple with biking and being active incase running five miles straight every week like you already do is too hard

Try eating healthier when you already fuckin do 😒😒😒😒😒

Calories are bullshit.

You wanna know why?

Because they measure calories in food by IGNITING THE FOOD ON FIRE.

In a real shocking development, human bodies DO NOT light food on fire internally when we digest food

🥑🥝🥩🥨🥪🥦🌭🌮🥟🥧🍜🍝🍔🍕🍞

BMI is utter bullshit, calories are bullshit, "you just need to burn more calories than you consume" is BULLSHIT.

Metabolism is complicated. Bodies are individual and react individually to different foods. I grind black pepper on a meal, that would send my friend V to hospital.

Bodies are freaking weird.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

today marks the second time my epidemiology professor has put a BMI chart on the board. The first time he did it, he explicitly told the entire class to calculate their BMI and share it (we did not actually share it).

this is a class of over 100 people, statistically he triggered a good few of them. ahhhhhh

Today in BMI is bullshit, FitBit tracks something called Cardio Fitness.

This is based off stuff like BMI, resting heart rate, activity, etc. Now, I'm a decently active person and my resting heart rate is usually in the upper 50s. However, it's always said my fitness was just average/okay (I was in the darker blue) and that to improve it I needed to lose weight. I always thought that was odd as weight shouldn't be the only indicator (however, I'm guessing it's weighted higher in the formula used to get this score). Well, I read a note that said going for a 10 minute run will better calibrate this. I always logged my other workouts so I thought that was enough to calibrate things (I've had FitBit for years). I fucked around and went for a 20 minute mix of walking/jogging and recorded it as a "run" just to see what happened and — yeah. This is insane. So, I went from lazy couch potato to almost elite athlete levels just by logging a workout differently. Of course, to get to excellent and on par with a professional runner I still need to lose weight (thanks, Fitbit)... it goes to show that a lot of these metrics are bullshit.

BMI is really funky, i'm about 12% body fat on a light frame - fairly slim, definitely not remotely muscle bound

and my BMI is 24.

almost "overweight", if i gained 4% weight i'd be at 25 which is considered such.

Hello Void!

So I went to the doctors for the first time since moving.

The paperwork says I’m 189 pounds but we think they miswrote it.

Especially since when we weighed me at home it was 179.

But like that’s still a lot.

Because I’m 5’4”.

That technically puts me in the obese category according to my BMI, 30.7 just barely above the line.

But BMI is bullshit anyway.

I just think it’s fucking hilarious.

Like I look pretty damn average (at least I think I do).

I guess it just goes to show that BMI is bullshit.

But like where did the weight come from?

Last time I weighed myself I was like 140/150.

Did the testosterone just really kick in?

It can’t be muscle I’m a weak bitch.

Who knows, I’m an enigma.

#weight #tw weight #tw bmi #trans #transmasc #testosterone #short #I am tiny #and real heavy apparently #bmi is bullshit #it’s def not muscle #I’m a weak bitch #I’m a enigma #where is that weight coming from?

did any other #girlathlete have the experience of being rewarded for putting on muscle while simultaneously criticized for having a high/overweight/obese bmi? yeah. this experience haunts me and has given me irreparable body dysmorphia

Obese is such a turn-on of a word.

To know that I'm not just pudgy or chubby or overweight, but so massively corpulent that they came up with a whole word to describe how medically over-fattened I am just makes me wet between the legs. 💦💦💦

#bmi is bullshit but the label is fucking hot #glorifying obesity #obese and proud #obese gainer #obese feedee #feed me #make me fatter
