Speaking of Fat | Celeste Johnson

According to a recent BMI chart, my height and my weight = severely overweight. Ok, hello, severely overweight? Yes, I know I need to lose some weight, but I don't consider myself severely overweight. I am 5'3" and 155 pounds. I wear a size 10 in jeans. Since when is that severely overweight?

No wonder our society has a large amount of people with eating disorders.

Fat Fat Fat | Celeste Johnson

On MSNBC there was an article about being overweight and the first line read:
"Being overweight may not kill you, but it could lead to obesity." In my best Jeff Foxworthy impersonation, "Well, duuuuuh!"

What special kind of idiot does it take to not know that being overweight
could lead to obesity? Gee, if you are overweight and keep eating lots of food without exercising, you are going to get obese. Simple as that.
