I gained 12 lbs I've always been told that I was gifted with good genes and that I was athletic and all of that common bullshit, when in reality I just don't stuff my face. Well my gf and I moved out about 4 moths ago and in that time I've gain 12 lbs. I've been pigging out more because I discovered I can make pretty damn good food. I'm now at a healthy 162 lbs at 6' 2" which puts my bmi @ 20.8. I have a very strong urge to run this off, even though I haven worked out in 5 years. I was on the track team in highschool. I literally cannot comprehend how people let themselves get overweight, let alone obese. I've got some slight belly fat and that pisses me off. I can't imagine people weighing TWICE what I do. Make me sick to my stomach that "Overweight" is the new normal. I've been hearing that a lot lately. "Oh, shes 5'8" and weight 190, thats normal" And now obese is just "slightly" worse than average. Like what the hell. Nobody believes me when I tell them being overweight is unhealthy. Look at the nursing homes, where are all of the fat 80 and 90 year olds is it's so great? But no, it's still just "normal". NORMAL IS NOT GOOD. Why do you want to just be normal? Why don't you want to be better than normal?
