"Just Obese"

As of today I am "just obese" on the BMI chart. I weighed in this morning at 240lbs. This put me at 39.9 for a BMI which drops me down to the next level. I started out at Super Morbidly Obese with a BMI of 71.1, then I was EXTREMELY Obese now I am JUST Obese lol. Funny the things we find as a "good thing" these days. I can remember thinking that "Obese" meant "those HUGE FAT people" and not me. MAN was it a wake up call when I found out that "I" was one of those huge fat people. It was horrifying. Now I am so proud ot be "just Obese" lol. Its been a VERY long road and I still have a long way to go but when looking out at my future today I actually started to see the outer glow of my goal. Its faint but its there!!
