What the fuck.

I drunkenly created a character for my own amusement. I even prefaced it with the statement "I know I'm going to get ragged on for this but I've created this bio for KC in my head." :lol:

I can just imagine all 5"6 of you ragin at that post instead of doing your study for one of your physio courses.

Good job with that buddy, but apart from being completely off the mark, it was also kind of rude and unnecessary to post.

I know I'm going to get ragged on for this but I've created this bio for KC in my head. So the way I see it:
She's maybe ~5'6"-5'8" and fairly petit but got a good curve on her. Wrong She implies that she's 'fat' because she doesn't fit the Hollywood rolemodels and though she'd never suggest as much to her friends - partly because she knows better Wrong. She plays it up on here because it makes her feel better and satisfies her insecurities Wrong (not that I'm suggesting she's seeking attention. We're all insecure in one way or another).

She's a single child but that works for her. Wrong Competing for her parents affection is hard enough.Wrong They are career-oriented Wrong and love each-other Yeah nah, and the 'family image' is important to them Mmm, no. She doesn't have them smothering her too much but hey expect her to achieve for herself and her goals don't quite match their expectations Not necessarily. They want a lawyer, she wants to be a physio. Wrong

She's now trapped in the realm of the "cute girl" dating the egotistical dick. Wrong, I'm not dating him She'll either break up with him now or be with him for another year defending his exploits until he cheats on her and crushes every fibre of her emotive character. Not likely.

It won't be for another 2-4 years before she realises where she stands. And moves to Australia.Wrong.

KC has a sister IIRC

Yeah my thoughts.

So KC is actually fit.

18.5-24.9 is the "healthy" range. BMI isn't a very good indication of much though.

i always was under the impression that up to 25 was in the "healthy" range.

BMI has long been proven as utter horseshit and in no way an empirical method of accurately gauging body health. I'm also 6'3" and when I got down to the lower end of my "healthy range" according to BMI I was dangerously thin and weak.

Extreme obesity the new normal

Extreme obesity has increased to the point that people are losing sight of what a normal weight actually is, health experts say.
Morbid obesity, the highest scale of obesity, increased by 68 per cent between 1997 and 2008, a study of women living on the east coast of Australia has found.
The study found overall obesity levels increased by 30 per cent, in what doctors say is part of a nationwide weight gain.
Public Health Association of Australia president Heather Yeatman said messages about healthy eating and exercising more were falling on deaf ears because many did not even realise how risky their weight was.

''I think that people are not really aware of what normal weight is any more,'' Associate Professor Yeatman said. ''If you have got 60-plus per cent of people overweight or obese that has become normal viewing these days, not only for children but for parents as well.''
Professor Yeatman said people were sick of hearing about weight, and many did not even realise messages targeted them.
''We need to focus on the positive things people can do … the fact that everyone needs to improve their diet, eat more sustainably and improve their exercise,'' she said.
The researchers, from Deakin University, measured the height and weight of nearly 1500 women who participated in the Geelong osteoporosis study, avoiding the problems of inaccurate knowledge that often plagued researchers who simply asked people how much they weighed.
It found morbid obesity had increased from 2.5 per cent of the population to about 4.2 per cent, or just under one in 20 people.
Morbid obesity is defined as a body mass index of 40 or higher, and is linked to far higher risks of problems such as diabetes, cancer, and heart disease. Overall the study found nearly 30 per cent of participants were obese in measurements taken between 2004 and 2008, compared with 22.5 per cent of people measured between 1993 and 1997.
Study leader Julie Pasco, the head of the epidemiology unit for musculoskeletal and metabolic disorders at Deakin University, said the patterns seen in her study were likely to be occurring across the country.
This shift, which was not restricted to people of a particular age or socio-economic status, could indicate the whole population was shifting towards a greater risk for obesity-related disease.
On Thursday Obesity Australia launched a five-point plan to deal with the obesity epidemic. It included giving the parents of young children more information, expanding the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Programs in primary schools, and restricting television advertising of fast foods and high-sugar drinks.

apparently other tall people know my feels, and a "new formula" has been made. i am definately NOT overweight, judging from these numbers #winning #tallpoppieseverywhere

i always was under the impression that up to 25 was in the "healthy" range.

i just calculated my bmi then. i need to lose 8-10kg to be considered in the healthy range. i'm near the fittest i've ever been, and i legit have at max 2 kgs i could potentially shed - even when i was getting payed to play football i was roughly the same weight i am now, it's just my frame. i don't think the bmi calculator is an accurate indicator for tall people tbh (6'3" over here, watch out kc's alpha :lol:).

Poor you.

Isn't that normal?

I have an idea of what KC looks like in my mind now.

:cool:

Sorry, skipped past this before. BMI is 20 :?

Actually, out of curiosity KC, what's your BMI?

Also, it's very hard to keep weight off when you lose it.

Seems to be a hell of a lot of ignorance on this topic.

It's not just lack of discipline or mental issues that can make someone prone to being overweight.
Biologically some people are just hard-wired to desire high energy foods constantly (to varying degrees obviously).

It wasn't such a problem in the past because we didn't have such ready access to high energy processed foods.

I'm a little bit too skinny if anything and I can tell you it's not because I'm disciplined or mentally stable that I'm fit. It's largely because I'm lucky enough not to have such a strong biological desire for high energy foods.

The other side of that is that it then gives people who are legitimately lazy the chance to go "It's not my fault I'm fat, it's genetic". No it's a cultural problem of inherent laziness in your family, you dick.

Tits out for the boys! Tits out for the boys!!! :p :p :lol: :lol:
