BMI Says I’m Not Obese Anymore…Just Overweight…

Had a revelation last night when my daughter and I were on here.  We calculated our BMIs and she is at the ideal weight now (thank you, God).  I am no longer obese but am now overweight.  Part of me is thrilled, and part of me is mad at myself for letting me get here to begin with.  Hey, I know…Take it as a good sign.  It is a step on the right direction.

I have been back on WW since January 10.  This Tuesday, it will be six months.  I have lost 24lbs.  That is pretty darn good.  It will be Christmas before I am at my ideal BMI.  Oh well, if I wasn’t doing this I would be beyond obese now wouldn’t I?  I am usually a positive person, so I am going to have to channel that positiveness and forge ahead.

Have a relaxing Sunday, everyone.

Tammy

    Being still in the morbidly obese range makes obese sound like Heaven to me! I’m so proud of you! Attitude is the name of the game! If the attitude is right, the success surely follows!

    Congratulations on your overall loss - you’re doing great. You’ve stuck to WW for six months and are out of a higher risk level with your BMI. i can’t wait for my BMI to drop to overweight. Don’t knock yourself for past choices - focus on future choices and making the best ones!! You can do it.
