[quote=Anonymous]I am 42. I am 5'7, and I weigh about 155 lbs. I wear an 8/10. I have been this weight for 20 years. I've had 3 kids, gained 60 lbs with 2 of the pregnancies, and can stll wear the majority of my clothes from 20 years ago. But, I am just on the cusp of having a BMI that is considered 'overweight'. My doc says I should lose 10 lbs.

I love food, I love to eat, and for the most part, I eat pretty well. Today, for example, I've had a whole wheat pita with 1 oz of cream cheese and a ton of spinach, strawberries, and a bowl full of spinach, broccoli, chickpeas, tofu, and a fat-free peanut sauce. If I snack, I eat SkinnyPop popcorn or a string cheese, or an apple with some greek yogurt mixed with peanut butter. I am not eating fried foods, a ton of cheese, a ton of sugar, white-flour based products etc. and we hardly ever eat out - because that's just not in my normal diet. I'm not purposefuly avoiding those things.

I mean - isn't it OK that I feel healthy, I eat healthy, my blood work is good, and I rarely get sick? I feel like I should be trying to lower my BMI, but then I think - at what cost? I don't want to count every calorie. I eat a ton of fruit and veggies. I walk, I play outside, I ride my bike.

Isn't all that good enough?[/quote]
