So y'all know about my weight loss, blah, blah, blah.....
I've never known my BMI, but I stopped in Sam's Club just now, and they were doing a free men's health screening. Sooo, the chart starts off at a low BMI of 19, and that's for a man who's 4'10". I'm 5'10". My BMI? 20.1!!! The nurse said it was the lowest number she'd seen all day! (god, the two guys in front of me, were both at LEAST 100 lbs overweight....I wish I could have seen their numbers!) |

Curiosity. If you weighed 145 lbs, and had a BMI of 20, wouldn't you be CURIOUS what the BMI of the 375 lb guy next to you, might be?

Whatever floats your boat. To me, though, your desire the know that specific BMIs of men who are clearly unhealthy (and presumably concerned about it, given that they'd gone to get checked) sounds more like schadenfreude than curiousity. Weight is not a competition, and others' fatness does not make you skinnier.

I merely pointed out that I was curious, as to their own BMI's. No competition, nothing like that(clearly, since the one guy made 2.5 of me, I WON!). So yeah, thanks for telling me that I shouldn't be curious. You're working with tons of ASSumptions there... |

Yeah, you're allowed to be curious. But you did present BMIs as a competition, as you consistently have with weight in the past. It's a notion that I find deeply problematic, but again, I recognize that I'm probably touchy on this subject. It's a work in progress.

BTW, I have a BMI of 19.2--do I WIN?!
I have a disorder I might struggle with for the rest of my life, so it doesn't feel like a win to me. ETA: Have I really reached the point of over-sharing on a message board just to make a point? Eh, maybe. Hope I'm not making everyone uncomfortable. For the record, I'm in therapy and have made a lot of progress.

The competition is in your mind. I, for one,,,,,,,(and I say this constantly),,,,,, have a 300 lb guy inside me,,,,,trying to surface. And, I, punch, that, fatass, in, the, nose, every, morning,. You should stop reading put downs into my text, when it's not intended. (and please don't try to tell me that I'm not allowed to call myself fatass) |

Now, now. Don't get cranky just because she "beat" your BMI. No one likes a sore loser.
But seriously, what you just said was even more uncalled for than your "ASSumptions" remark. Grace didn't have to admit any personal bias to you. You presented the fact that you had the lowest BMI of the day as a cause for celebration. Whether that's a good thing or not is marginally up for debate, but it's not debatable that it WAS a competition for you. Grace pointing that out isn't her being touchy-- it's more like her having reading comprehension skills.
