the above is a link to calculate your BMI. Your BMI is your Body Mass Index, it takes into consideration your height and weight and gives you a score, and according to that score you can determine whether or not you are at a healthy weight.
Anyway, so i went to go see the lady doctor today and after answering a few of my questions she took a look at me and said, "how much do you weigh?" To which i answered. "blank" and she said, "and how tall are you?" "five foot two AND A HALF!" She then proceeded to tell me that i was too heavy for my height, and that i needed to lose around 20-25 pounds. I tell you, ladies and gentlemen, my heart practically dropped into my stomach. What the heck. 20-25 pounds? I've never felt that bad about my weight ever. ever. EVER. i've always regarded myself as a Mexican Marilyn Monroe.... when it came to curves anyway.... i definitely don't have the sex appeal. Or the whole Marilyn Monroe thing going on....
So, one of my goals for the semester is to lose weight, so i can be "healthy"my other goal is to get good grades and make my asian ancestors proud. This means... a lot of salad, fruits, vegetables, and the very much dreaded, EXERCISE. Yes, ladies and gentlemen. Gator will be walking, and maybe running... so .... i mean. yeah.
Boo weight gain!
Also, upon further research i found that most Drs. find the BMI chart to be obsolete because you can't tell when someone is fat or muscular... clearly, i'm the latter.
