Am I 25 pounds heavier than I want to be? Yes. Am I healthy? For the most part, yes. Besides chronic injury\/pain I am dealing with, I am pretty healthy. My bloodwork is always normal. My blood pressure is pretty low. I&#8217;m not diabetic. I can walk Bella for several miles without pain. I can maintain activity for the most part (depending on the injury feeling of the day!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am a very active person. According to BMI I am obese (still). Even at my lowest weight (which was incredibly hard for me to maintain and my body gained about 10 pounds from that and then stayed there) I was still considered overweight. Even thought I was wearing a size 6 pants and small or medium shirts. <strong>When did size 6 become overweight??<\/strong> Basically, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/templates\/story\/story.php?storyId=106268439\">BMI is Bullshit<\/a>. And YET&#8230;entire industries (medical, insurance, etc) keep using it as some kind of gauge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I really enjoyed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.self.com\/story\/health-at-every-size-trainer\">this article<\/a>. Here are two parts that really stood out for me:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&#8220;Anyone who trains is an athlete, regardless of their body size.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes!! I have believed this since the start. Anyone that is doing any physical activity, no matter what their size, IS an athlete. And &#8211;on a side note&#8211; deserve to be included in the conversation AND have fitness clothes that are made for their size! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I was 50 pounds heavier than my lowest weight, I was a fantastic swimmer. Was I &#8220;fat&#8221;? Yes. But I was still an athlete! I could swim a mile without stopping, in a fairly quick time. I&#8217;d say that&#8217;s pretty athletic. I have many friends who are considered overweight but love hiking and can keep a pretty fast pace. So the judgment is harmful. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Size does not = health.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I was at my heaviest and inactive, yes, I was unhealthy. I was pre-diabetic. I had high blood pressure. There were a lot of issues. But honestly, working out has changed all of that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&#8220;The role of fitness is not to \u201cburn off\u201d the food you eat.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m struggling with this one. After <em>years<\/em> of logging, weighing, tracking my calories and monitoring how many calories I burn from each workout, it is a VERY hard habit to break. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/columbuspark.com\/2020\/08\/19\/health-at-every-size-what-science-tells-us\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">&#8220;Health isn&#8217;t just physical&#8221;<\/span><\/a>  There is so much more to health than the physical aspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Health-At-Every-Size-Principles-300x300-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Health-At-Every-Size-Principles-300x300-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-59709\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Health-At-Every-Size-Principles-300x300-1.png 300w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Health-At-Every-Size-Principles-300x300-1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Health-At-Every-Size-Principles-300x300-1-250x250.png 250w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Health-At-Every-Size-Principles-300x300-1-40x40.png 40w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/vinccitsui.com\/blog\/2018\/04\/share-haes-ie\/\">Health At Every Size<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Something Logan has said a few times to me: &#8220;Mommy you are so squishy.&#8221; Then he pokes me and giggles. The first time he said it I instantly felt shame. I felt sadness. But then I reminded myself that my 5 year old doesn&#8217;t care what that means. He liked that I was squishy because we were cuddling on the couch.
