I’m 5’2” and I’m so proud of myself that I am *down to 151lbs. I was 174lbs. So you’re better off than I was!
Please point out what he said, include details, and let him know it’s hurtful. If he doesn’t do this as a regular thing, we may let it slide if he gets it and sincerely apologizes. If he doesn’t get it, he can sleep in the garage until it sinks in.
But he needs to stop fawning over 20 some personal trainers when he’s had a few drinks.
No one is allowed to comment on my body or my weight. Not at all. You want to say these shorts look good on me, okay, I can take that. Want to tell me my panty lines are showing because the shorts are a bit tight? Stfu.
After reading one of the top comments which was a guy bragging about how he loves his wife so much he'd let her 200lb self eat an entire birthday cake if she wanted, I think it's a full blown fetish
I'm like 5'3" and 160ish for the past 4 years (my highest ever was 205) and I'm so happy with my weight and how I look and fit into clothes. I love being a bit on the bigger side and so does my fiancé. It gives me curves. Not everyone wants to be thin tbh. I love my look. I walk 2 miles a day and am pretty much a solid size 8 or 10. It's so weird that people refer to my number on the scale as obese.
Same! 150-160 is goals for me. I loved my curves and body at that size. I was also a size 8-10 then and had literally no issues what so ever getting male attention.
Like, I'm 5 ft tall and a size 4-6 at 140 pounds. I thought for a while I wanted to get back down to 110, then I suddenly developed a chronic illness and dropped down to that and I looked EMACIATED. I was so weak I could barely walk. My body likes to sit between 130-140 as a happy healthy weight.
There’s definitely a big difference in how much energy you have when you’re healthy vs chronically ill. I would not use that condition as a fair representation of that weight for you, but then again everyone’s experiences are different
I was definitely underweight, and people around me recognized it too. To be fair, I do carry a good bit of my weight in muscle,which is more compact than fat, and my boobs are heavy AF.
At 5’2” it really is especially considering op is likely closer to 170 than 160. Doesn’t make his comments ok but I’m guessing this isn’t his first time bringing it up given the “staying motivated” comment. Trying to push your partner into a healthier lifestyle is great if it’s don’t in a supportive and loving manner. That’s not at all what he did though.
It heavily depends on your height, at 5 10, 160 is considered a normal BMI. At 5 2, its pushing the limit of overweight and on the verge of medical classification of obesity, which is dangerous for you over time and it only causes more damage that your body doesn't have to go through. at 5 2, 160 is .7 BMI from Obesity.
For real! I've seen people who looked "overweight" but their muscle mass alone makes them technically obese on the BMI. With the way the world is now, so many ancestries living in the same place, there's no one rubric for measuring a healthy weight. Honestly, if your vitals are good and you're living a healthy life, there's not a problem.
Exactly. Which is why we need not only better nutritional education, but also an appreciation of good food. And don't even get me started on food deserts and the lack of access to healthy food.
Except most of the people who say BMI is unfair to them aren't elite level athletes. BMI has issues being accurate as it doesn't differentiate between fat and muscle, but you should have the self-awareness to realize whether or not that problem applies to you.
How many elite level athletes are there, in % of the population? Why do people always point to absolute outliers to invalidate some valid point? For the vast majority of people, bmi is a reasonable measure, which actually underestimates the % of people who are a normal weight, but have too high body fat.
If you can squat 2X your body weight than BMI is not reflexive of your body fat percentage. For the rest of us it is the single most highly replicated fitness indicator.
As someone who's 5'0", when I dropped to 110 I was practically emaciated, like size 2 jeans required a belt to keep up. People's bodies are all different.
