[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is such a spectrum when it comes to "normal" weight and it can mean very different things for different people, depends a lot on body shape as well. You could be normal weight with a big stomach, or a slim waist.

And just because someone is at a normal weight does not mean it's their preferred weight. It's ok to want to lose 10 or 15lbs or even 20 especially if the weight gain is recent and due to peri. OP would not even be on the low end of BMI if she did that.[/quote]

There’s also a lot of women with eating disorders and body dysmorphia.[/quote]

Yes, they come in all shapes and sizes. Someone being 24 BMI or 21 BMI tells you nothing about either of those. Neither does whether someone wants to lose weight and go from one to the other. It's not some unreasonable, weird goal.[/quote]

If someone has a BMI of 24 and thinks that they’re obese, then it’s at least suggestive for body dysmorphia. If you want to lie to your MD, spouse, and children to get a drug to lose weight, then that’s a problem. I think GLP1 drugs are amazing for people whose health is at risk from excess weight. They also pose a real risk in enabling anorexia in people with normal or even low weights. I’ve got a college aged daughter and I’ve seen too many of her friends deal with eating disorders to be sanguine about the risks of anorexia.[/quote]

BMI 23 is considered overweight in south Asian population. [/quote]

Is OP south Asian? Otherwise, so? [/quote]
