Everyday I stand next to it as I pour myself a cup tea, or help myself to a Digestive cookie and make fun of how short it is. I mean, if you were five feet nothing (abbr. as 5' 0''), you would make fun of anything that you are lucky enough to look down on (including the cats, dogs and my boyfriend's you knowwhat). Today, I stood on it. Stood on it and looked down (sniggering)... As you may have guessed, I stopped sniggering when I saw the pointing needle go past 55 kgs. I have been telling myself that I'm 55 for a while now and when the needle stopped at 60, I jumped off!! Now, calculators of something I like to call Body Mustn't Increase (Body Mass Index) rates me as being in the 'overweight range' or slightly overweight. (note i did not put the bold in the 'overweight', they did. Either to show me how ugly that really is or just to emphasize.) This is what I'm told of my BMI:Loosing weight will benefit your health and it is especially important that you don't gain any more. Being overweight is linked with type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, certain cancers and other types of illness.
Can you imagine the nerve!!!! Me, the woman who does splits. You don't' believe me?
Yeah, that is me, you can tell by the fat in my ass...I mean, by my dreadlocks. Me, the slightly overweight, in the Overweight range woman. Do you think these (web) sites can tell that i'm a woman keying in these numbers and are trying to be politically correct as possible. You know, no to piss that black woman off. You know how these women can get when angry...'specially when it's about her booty!
Anyway, So I have decided to create a poll. All my readers... Do you think I'm fat? you can be as politically correct as you want. If the answer is yes, I'll get off my ass and buy this t-shirt;
How can you tell? Below is a pic of me, taken after the scale / BMI fiasco.

Hey. Thanks for commenting on my blog. You can figure out what red wine gums are by clicking on my about page. They're basically a chewy sweet.
Looking at that picture you are most definitely not fat. The BMI is a bit stupid at times because professional sports players can be overweight according to it. You are not fat. You are most definitely a very good looking woman.
I see your papa taught you well :-)
I agree with Redwinegums, you're a pretty lady and not fat. You have a good smile going in this photo, got to like that.
I enjoyed reading you.
You take care darkangel!
peace!
