So I was reading an atricle in the WSJ a couple of weeks ago pretaining to government recommended health criteria. The article had a link to a BMI calculator, being curious as I was I followed the link and typed in my information.... Much to my suprise I was Overweight/borderline Obese. Prior to this if you had asked me if I was a poster child for good health the answer would have been a HELL NO, on the other hand I would not have put myself on the near obese end of the spectrum either. I would not exactly say I was beating myself up about this but it did cause me to run 4 miles instead of 3 at the gym in the evenings trying to shave off the extra 25lbs that I would have to ditch in order to get myself to a healthy weight.
Today I came across another article that put being overweight into perspective for me..... Here are the findings:
