I am only thirteen but I’ve been trying to loose weight and have been somewhat successful. I’ve only been on a diet for a week, I lost eight pounds in the first four days then gained back five the following three, the unknown reasoning for that is aside the point. My BMI is 34.8 right now, my appearance is that of a person around thirty percent body fat, and my actual body fat percentage is 22%. I see some reasoning behind this, My mother as do all of my sisters have an hour glass figure which equates to me having a waist which is the thinnest part of my body. The first time I took my BFP I didn’t know what my waist was so I put it slightly above my hips and it came out as 31%. A few days later AKA today I looked up what a waist was and I found out I had done it all wrong, the verdict was 22%. This seems like a rant which it is to an extent, but what I’m asking is could the more optimistic result of 22% be true or an I just an outlier with my thin waist. I’ve been told I look athletic by most people, and I’m legitimately concerned that I have a very screwed up view of my body. I know that I’m fat, but so many people telling me I look fine and my BFP telling me I’m almost ok, along with my BMI telling me I’m gonna die, I just don’t know what to believe or what I should use to set a goal for myself.
I forgot to mention that I have an extremely rare genetic illness called overgrowth syndrome which gives me proportions of someone closer to someone three years old than me , along with an oversized spleen. If that helps at all.
