BMI

BMI means Body Mass Index. Oh, I asure you that it is the latest rage.

INSTRUCTIONS: Take you weight, in pounds, divide it by your height in inches, squared, and multiply by 703.

Supposedly, it measures the amount of fat in or body, or something like that.

Did I mention I was never very good at math? Who came up with this particular formula? How did they decide on the number 703? I'm confused as it is.

I could tell you how much fat percentage I have simply by pinching my rear.

I have lost weight in the last few years. Most of my fat is behind me. HA HA!

I haven't worn a bathing suit since I was 11 or 12. I'm DYING to go to a waterpark, but I just can't bring myself to do it. I don't know what my BMI is, or even my cholestorol, for that matter (it runs high in my family, so I'm guessing mine is high...)

What I do know is that I refuse to wear a bathing suit. BMI or no BMI.
