Here is something that ticked me off today. I was listening to the radio the other day about all these fat ass kids we got running around. Well, I don't have any kids. If I did we know there would have been some divine intervention. Anyway, all these fat ass kids running around and I guess the state of Arkansas has been keeping track of all its little chubsters. In one town they found that about 1/2 the seniors were pie bandits! One of the methods they are using to determine who is and is not a porker is by using the BMI. This is a nasty little government index to tell you how fat you are. I don't particularly like this measurement because it doesn't take several factors into account. Also, the scale has been lowered in the past few years. Not sure who is drawing up these arbitrary lines to tell me that once I was OK but now I'm a Chuckie Cheese chubster AND haven't gained a pound.

So I decided to do my BMI once more to see where I fell in the spectrum. I figure after losing 15 pounds I should be good to go. Well I calculated my BMI and I am good to go! Go right back in the gym and keep eating celery sticks! That damn thing said I was overweight! According to their scale I would have to lose an additional 11 to 12 pounds to be considered "normal". Like I ever want to be classified as "normal". I don't know about losing 12 more pounds. If I did manage to lose that much weight you guys would think I escaped from a concentration camp and asking, "Where's the beef?" As I stated my beef is with the government and this crazy BMI scale. I think you should all go here and calculate your own BMI. I think you will be surprised and shocked!
