i HATE calculating BMI..!

i HATE calculating BMI..!

Ive always been categorised as 'overweight' or sometimes 'obese' (especially now when i'm pregnant). I don't think I look obese, but I AM overweight..!? Can you imagine a person called obese? They usually have a huge 'pile' of fat on their stomach, buttocks, arms and thighs. But as for me? I do have a motorcycle sized of 'spare tyre' on my stomach, not even bigger than that! And fats under my arms are not even as big as my calves! Then how do you categorize me as obese??? You can't even count my fat using BMI! Arghh! Stu*^& BMI..!

They (nurses) even made sure to put this GREEN sticker on my pregnancy card as reminder of my weight..!

But it puzzled people when I mention my real weight because it doesn't seem to fit my appearance that well.. I always get that shocked look among nurses especially if they are using that 'me-vs-stone' weight-scales.. They usually starts the estimation way 20kg lighter than my real weight!!! So how do you explain me being considered as obese?! The so called BMI is NOT that RELIABLE at all! Whoever introduced that should do a new research!

I always know something about my built. I am always quite muscular for a woman.. I used to carry all 2-3 of my bags filled with clothes and books weighing 10-15kg each walking almost 50-100m on my own when I was in university.. And I dont mind moving my furniture around the house on my own even if I need to lean against them to push them around..(Though now I am NOT ALLOWED to even move a coffee table on my own)

So everytime I count my BMI, it gives me some real BIGGGG HEADACHE! IT IS NOT THAT ACCURATE AT ALL! argghh!

once again, i HATE calculating BMI..!

holiday nov2011 01

We had an 'explorace' holiday last November 2011. Our flight to Kuala Terengganu (KL transit) was on 25 Nov. Arrived at night, an we went straight to YT Midtown Hotel. A strategically located hotel and I consider it as budget hotel. Paying RM120 for a RM150 sized room! Its definitely not a boutique hotel or spa resort. But cozy enough to rest and sleep. No weird smell or sound. The small pic of my son was on the plane. The Floating Mosque (i think its called Masjid Tunku Zaharah or something like that..), located at Tanjung Ibai. Its rainy day so we decided to just sightseeing from the car (rented car with very good deal!) Then we went to see Masjid Putih, as the local called it. Passing by the White Mosque (Masjid Putih), the driver took us to the Fishery Department Port. A visit only a few lucky people like us could get! The driver is like the president of fishermen's union or something.. So we get to see the real boat and ships used to fish! Its not like we never...
