I don't buy into those charts and other weights and standards that compare one human to another instead of taking into account us as individuals. You realize that Brian Urlacher is practically "morbidly obese" by these standards? Does it matter that he has 6% body fat? No. Not at all. If you’re obese, I am so fooked.

Not to mention that muscle is denser than fat. Any chart that oversimplifies that much is not helpful. The scale doesn’t distinguish between fat and muscle.

I am all for being healthy, but the number thing gets so ridiculous. I stopped working out a couple months ago when my freelance work schedule conflicted with my favorite yoga classes. As soon as I stopped exercising, I lost my appetite. So...I've lost a little weight. I may be thinner and in a more normal weight range now, but I am definitely not healthier. I got winded just walking up the stairs at the gym today. Numbers Schmumbers. Ugh. I am all for being healthy, but the number thing gets so ridiculous.
