Ever since I was 16, I have been self-consciously aware about my low BMI and the fact that I was "Very Very Underweight". As in... whenever I went for a checkup, the doctor would take my measurements, refer to his chart and give me that glance as if to say, "Look - your weight is unrecorded here and less than what's in the 'Very Underweight' category."
The inevitable questions about whether or not I was anorexic would follow.
At the Walkers', I eagerly stepped on the scales that I spotted in the Girls' bathroom. A grand total of 112.4 lbs flashed back at us. Wiser from that moment, I decided to compute my BMI today. It's a healthy 19.9! O_O
This, my friendlies, is a solemnly significant milestone of my life. For the first time ever, I've attained the "Normal Weight" threshold I'd always thought was beyond my getting.
Congratulate me, please. :-)
*Cheers for weight gain*

First time on your blog... via Chantel H. of YLCF's blog. Just to comment that I've also been below the normal BMI all my life! But not malnourished either. I take it that I'll gain some weight when I marry and have kids, so I've never been worried. :) Congrats!
