So today in Gym class they took our weight. They'd taken it before and I was
nervous, like always. Turns out now that I'm seeming to get heavier, even
though I can't quite tell on the outside. I decided to calculate my Body Mass
Index (BMI) and the computer just told me that I am overweight. I've always
felt a bit insecure but I never considered myself actually overweight. Everyone
else tells me I'm crazy when I call myself fat. What I want to know is: What is
the deal with this BMI? Mine is 26.4 and the overweight category starts at 25.
I know I'm a wee bit chubby and if this could turn out to be a problem what
should I do? After all, the scale doesn't lie.
Thanks for reading!
