HA! I bet you were told this by someone overwieght or obese. I

hear it a lot from my overweight friends and family members. I'm

not sure if it is envy or a distorted view of what a healthy person

is supposed to look like. Maybe they can't remember I looked like I

do now when most of them first met me years ago. My BMI is 23.1 so

I'm nowhere's near where I will end up, and right now, I am perfect

weight for my height using BMI as a guide.
