I'm overweight, let's celebrate!

  • Popular Post

Wowza! Just looked at my VST profile and I am no longer obese on the BMI chart. I am now just 'overweight'. It is laughable to be excited about being overweight but I am! I loathe the word obese and now it no longer applies to me. Yeah! :D

    Seeing a doc write morbidly obese was a real slap in the face wake up call. Being just overweight is definitely reason to celebrate!!!
