  • It sounds like you have some very confused thinking. In one sentence, you say that your BMI is healthy, and in another you declare yourself fat.

    Even if you believe BMI is highly significant, a BMI of 19.2 (which is what the calculator I used gave me for your height and weight) is indeed in the "healthy" range, but it's only a few pounds above "underweight".

    From what you say, there seems nothing wrong with your level of activity or your diet. However, if you fixate on your tummy and thighs - and I think you may be in danger of doing that, since I strongly suspect you've asked about this before here - then there is the possibility that you could develop some very negative obsessions about exercise and food, and that could lead to huge problems. What you say about the great pleasure you take from your self-imposed ration of one chocolate bar a week suggests you could already be heading in that direction.

    You're a woman, and evolution has selected for women who are capable of nourishing their offspring during pregnancy. This means that you have fat stores on your thighs and your tummy. Since you seem to have totally bought into the current views of what a perfect woman should look like, you may not like that fact, but it is what it is.

    You don't need to adjust your food intake or how much you torture your body with exercise; you do need to recognise that you've bought into twisted views of what women should look like, and you need learn to accept and love the body you have.
