BMI is Bunk

So I meet alot of brides. Most if not all have goals that involve making changes to themselves for their very special day. Some want whiter teeth, lose weight, new boobs (I just put that one in).

Anyhow. As I attempt to make improvements on myself I have talked to the professionals at Dr B

Yesterday I met with the a doctor at the clinic I attend. He was the least motivated person I have every met. Well, except for the Tim Hortons drive thru coffee girl near the studio in Toronto or the guy at the front cash at Jamba juice in Boca.

Anyhow, as he basically reads the script in a monotone voice "so you started the diet at 255.2 pounds and yourBMI was 34. That means that you must lose 100 lbs to meet the minimum requirement according to the government food administration, blah blah --bueler,bueler,bueler

I've beed researching BMI and found an interesting chart. It shows photos of real people at exact weights.
