Index Fat Bmi
Why do guys think a Woman is Fat even if she has a Healthy BMI?

BTW, BMI is Body Mass Index.

Its what personal trainers use to see if your height wieght ratio
match up.

For instance i have a friend who is very short, she is a stalky
gal ( broad boned) but she is very light-doesnt wiegh
much. People call her overweight all the time, even tho
she is very fit. I hate that!

Because they have a very wharped idea of what is healthy and what isn't. Often guys especially, will try to convince themselves that it is perfectly healthy for a girl to be a little underweight, but if she was a little overweight, then he'd consider her almost obese. This way of thinking needs to be targeted and changed. I really think the first thing that needs to be addressed is the way the modelling industry portrays skinny, underweight women as healthy and ideal. As long as this continues, things will never change.

What has to happen to make people sit up and take notice? Does someone have to end up dead from Anorexia? I get fed up with it, as I'm a healthy weight and like your friend, I think I look a bit stocky. I know I'm not overweight, but at the same time I feel this pressure form society to be more skinny. When I think about it, it's ridiculous and your friend should take no notice of those idiots that call her overweight. I bet she is far more healthy than them and probably looks much better than them too. Take care : )

Divide your weight in kilograms by your height in meters squared: the result -- the body mass index (BMI) -- will help determine how much you pay for life insurance.
