I am feeling like a giant fat cow these days. I hate when my head dictate my worth based on my bmi.
(((Rhaps)))
Don't do it to yourself! You still exercising?
You know you are so much more than that stupid fucking BMI!!!

Yes, and watching what I eat...WHY will it not go away? I will never ever be a normal weight.
Please don't base anything on BMI. I know many athletes that do not meet that horrible chart. I swear it was created as a make work project for the dieticians.
I don't know you, I wish I did so I could say something more helpful, but if you're healthy who care? You are beautiful.

Beauty isn't about physical appearances.
It comes from the belief in who were are as a person and loving yourself.
That loves comes through as beauty and that's what people see and say is beautiful.

I would agree with the other's that the BMI is just terrible. Even when I was lean and ripped I was never getting close to a good rating on that scale. Right now I'm probably in the shape of my life fitness wise and I'm ranked as obese.
Much better to work with what you have rather than what society tells you

normal.
I have a son who is 6'5".. he's so not normal.
it's awful.. the world is not built for really short .. or really tall people
The thing is - if you line up 100 people, some will be light and some will be heavy - but that's all it tells us about the person.
I'm at that age where, if one of my girlfriends shows up and she's lost 10 pounds, I worry about her health... I make sure she isn't deathly ill before I congratulate her.
I don't mean to diminish your frustration. It hits very close to home.
I just need to tell you that I think you're better than normal. You're a woman who is paying attention, making an effort, exposing her soul with the hope that it will be handled gently.. you're so much better than normal, Rhapsody.

A dear friend always tells me that normal is just a setting on the dryer.
Normal = average = mediocre. That means in the middle somewhere. There are people taller and shorter, heavier and thinner. An average grade in school is a C. C. I don't know about you, but when I'm in school, a C is nowhere near an acceptable grade for me. C isn't an acceptable grade for my life either. If I'm only putting out mediocre effort in my life, something is wrong, and I need to fix it.
ANYbody can be average or normal. It takes a little effort to be something else. It's easy to follow the crowd but more difficult to stand out in a crowd. I'm not sure why that is, but I will not allow myself to be swayed by the gang mentality. Another friend uses the analogy of sheep being blindly led to slaughter. That is so not what I want for my life.
Giggle is right. You're so much more than normal.

Go by how you truly FEEL. Not what a chart says, or another person thinks. If you are fit & healthy and happy with yourself then so be it. If you look in the mirror and can leave the house in confidence that you are beautiful, then do so! Burn the damn chart.
95% of how other people see you is nothing more than a reflection of your own attitude. If you believe you are beautiful, others will too.

I'm usually the one ranting about how certain music promotes the degradation of women. I happened upon this song & thought if more songs promoted the inner beauty instead of the superficial......what course would our youth be taking...
Crooked Smile J. Cole

They tell me I should fix my grill cause I got money now
I ain't gon' sit around and front like I ain't thought about it
A perfect smile is more appealing but it's funny how
My shit is crooked look at how far I done got without it
I keep my twisted grill, just to show the kids it's real
We ain't picture perfect but we worth the picture still
I got smart, I got rich, and I got bitches still
And they all look my eyebrows: thick as hell
Love yourself, girl, or nobody will
Though you're a woman, I don't know how you deal
With all the pressure to look impressive and go out in heels; I feel for you
Killing yourself to find a man that'll kill for you
You wake up, put makeup on, stare in the mirror
But it's clear that you can't face what's wrong; no need to fix
What God already put his paint brush on; your roommate yelling
"Why you gotta take so long?" What it's like to have a crooked smile
This crooked smile
To all the women with the flaws, know it's hard my darling
You wonder why you're lonely and your man's not calling
You keep falling victim cause you're insecure
And when I tell you that you're beautiful you can't be sure
Cause he don't seem to want you back and it's got you asking
So all you see is what you lacking, not what you packing
Take it from a man that loves what you got
And baby girl you're a star, don't let 'em tell you you're not
Now is it real? Eyebrows, fingernails, hair
Is it real? if it's not, girl you don't care
Cause what's real is something that the eyes can't see
That the hands can't touch, that them broads can't be, and that's you
Never let 'em see you frown
And if you need a friend to pick you up, I'll be around
And we can ride with the windows down, the music loud
I can tell you ain't laughed in a while, but I wanna see that crooked smile
