These are some pictures from Kate Harding’s BMI Project. Click through for dozens more pictures. It is perfect illustration of how flawed the BMI system is. There is nothing wrong with ANY of the bodies shown in any of the pictures above. There is nothing wrong with your body either.
BMI does not tell you ANYTHING about your body.
BMI is not a barometer of health, of beauty, of self-esteem, or of happiness.
There is no such thing as a ‘healthy weight’.
Concentrate on how your body feels, not on how it’s defined on a flawed scale. Do not let anyone tell you you’re not healthy because you’re ‘over’ or ‘under’ a certain number.

Laci Green tells us why BMI is innacurate and why people shouldn’t rely on this for health information!
-Tell me what you think of this? Have you dealt with doctors using this method when it’s clearly not applicable? :) LET ME KNOW GUYS :)
