Why BMI is bullshit

I've lost 60 pounds. I now look like this:

According to BMI, I am overweight. If I dropped another 10, I would just barely be "normal".

Bullshit.

I think I look like I just got back from Bataan and I haven't weighed this little in almost 20 years. It looks gross and I feel weak. As soon as I can, the goal will be to put 10-15 pounds back on. If that makes me overweight, so be it.

You definitely do NOT look gross. If I may say so, you are the hottest post-op cancer patient I have ever seen.

You could make a killing in the 'stomach surgery porn' genre. F'real.

Yeah, I look hot in that "guy who does a lot of meth and has a random tube sticking out of his side" way. Ewwww.

Some Cava burgers and smart working out and maybe a few of those marionberry hand pies you like and you're going to be super hot. I might have to have to up my game.

Don't want to alarm you, but you're also looking kind of out of focus.

BMI doesn't take muscle mass into account at all. It's so useless. If you want some accurate body stat info get some calipers and measure your body fat percentage. I'm just barley "normal" but I'm really fit, and getting close to 10% body fat, so yah, BMI is bullshit.
