It may sound strange (OK, it does), but I am pleased to announce that as of today, I am officially no longer morbidly obese. This is determined by your Body Mass Index (BMI). And today for the first time in many years, my BMI dipped below the point where one is considered morbidly obese (40 or greater). I’m now a 39.9, and proud of it! :-) Because morbid obesity is a chronic illness, it also means I have beaten a chronic health condition and am well on my way to a much more healthy lifestyle.
So goodbye, morbid obesity, and hello normal obesity! Pleased to meet ya!
BTW, according to the BMI system, I’d have to weigh a ridiculously low weight to be “normal”. I will be more than pleased when I can drop from “obese” into just plain “overweight” and reach my goal of 115kg, of which I am now about 2/3 of the way toward achieving. My pace of loss has picked up nicely again with some extra exercise (lots of biking!) and I’m losing at a pace of about 1kg a week again, which is great!
