...but BMI says that I am. I am 5'6" and I weigh 155. My BMI is 25.01 which is .20 over the suggested healthy BMI.
I've always been considered "bigger". Before I hit 13 I was taller than most kids I knew therefore I was heavier. In middle school I was in the "unlimited" group for track because I was 5'6" and 130 pounds. My peers called me fat continously and it pissed me off. I hid behind baggy clothes and a cup o'noodle. Of course I got boobs (they ruin so many lives... ha!) and gained weight. My lifetime high is 185 pounds and I hit that during my first year of college after getting shoulder surgery for a torn rotator cuff.
I did one of those fad detox diets, The Cabbage Soup Diet. I lost the weight they promised I would lose (17 pounds, from 185 to 169) but my period stopped for 3 months, I felt like shit, and I wasn't sleeping. That's just not right. I lost about 10 pounds from that point til xmas.
On Jan 1, 2007 I started Weight Watchers. I wrote down everything I ate and lost 20 pounds (155 to 135) before the end of March. Ah... then alcohol got introduced to my life (my 21st birthday) and now I am "fat" and sassy at 155 pounds again. Well alcohol wasn't the only thing. I can't walk to campus anymore because I live too far away and I'm eating like a COW, just add meat to the mix.
