So I'm all fitness obbsessed 'cause I went to my health lab today (and my lower back will be killing me tomorrow...). I dunno, I was thinking about body fat and BMI and whatnot and it was just like... Huh, I'm underweight... this bothers me. I know, why the hell am I complaining in a land where x% of the population is Obese? I hate to say it, but I only consider this when I consider societal pressures from the gay community and that whole need/desire/expectation to look like Adonis... Which actually only really applies to people who want to be on top, but that's changing... Honestly, my BMI (17.5) may be used to diagnois Anorexia Nervosa... and that's all the Health textbook had to say about it: because American's don't see the problem... Sorry, that was mildly psychotic... At any rate, I don't know, it worries me that I'm this skinny, and everyone commenting on it whenever they meet me really doesn't help things. I know I'm not anorexic, it just feels like my metabolism is so high that its slowly but surely eating away at my body... I feel the need to control it, slow it down somehow, but I'm not really too sure how to do it, and I don't think my regular doctor is going to have very many answers, though I do plan on asking him next time I see him.
