This was bothering me since yesterday’s post, and it’s been bothering me for a bit and finally figured out why.
I tend to see it a lot, the obsession about reaching the perfect BMI, and on paper that seems like a sound theory. But in practice, it’s more than just trying to reach your perfect percentage.
In my opinion, not every ones recommended BMI is actually healthy or easily achievable, it’s more than just about the number on the scale. I think it should come down to how do you feel on your weight loss journey? How does your body feel? How do your clothes fit? Do you feel stronger when you work out? Do you get a boost of confidence?
The scale and the number on the paper that gives you your BMI aren’t going tell you all of that. It’s literally just a number.
If on your journey you start getting anxiety attacks about what you eat and how much you eat to the point you start vomiting, talk to your doctor and get a therapist, because that’s not healthy for you.
Don’t restrict your calories so much either, there are calculators on Reddit, this sub, and google which will help you find your caloric deficient. It’s going to be different for everyone. But I have yet to see an average male needing a caloric deficient set to 1200 calories.
I get there are families and friends who will hate your progress and try to undermine your success, but remember that’s not everyone and showing concern doesn’t always come from a toxic mind set. It’s not always because they are jealous, yes sometimes you are the one showing some concerning signs. Maybe in those moments double check yourself.
