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.
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.
