So. I am 160cm (5’3). All my life since I have been a teenager according to BMI I have been either fat or obese.
Except… In my lowest during my eating disorder I was at ”normal weight” around 54 kg and I was famished. Mentally done and desperate. The road to thinking normally about my body and weight has been long, now I do gym and long distance cycling about 5-6 times a week. I have been doing this about three years now.
I have never in my life been this fit, literally.
I have been facing some health issues, my period migraine and a varicose vein in my foot that has been there for years. Today at doctors office I was told I am obese (according to BMI) and they literally didnt believe my workout routine was true - during this month alone I have been cycling for over 279 miles. My clothing size is S at the top and M on bottom - I have muscular thighs. My weight is 70 kg.
I literally can’t win. I am doing everything I can to be healthy - I eat high protein pesco-vegetarian food and live a very active lifestyle. All they stare at healthcare is BMI BMI BMI and I cant help but wonder how is this suppose to help me?
I have been dismissed about my health issues all my life because of BMI even when I specify my nutrition and my lifestyle. I dont even drink alcohol! It is like a lottery - sometimes I get listened to and sometimes they weigh me and dismiss everything I say.
Sorry for any grammar errors I just feel so pissed off right now. Get lost BMI. submitted by /u/FricaF
