Who Am I?

In a word, I'm fat. I haven't really thought if myself as fat since high school. I know I'm overweight (I weigh 155.3 pounds). I didn't know I was fat until my four year old asked me, "How do you know there is not a baby in there?" Brutally honest, but the kick in the butt I need to lose some weight.

Society often helps me gloss over the fact that I'm fat. I can buy "curvy" fit pants in the same size even though the regular fit pants don't fit anymore. Also when I look at most of my friends, I'm about the same size. (In reality, they are overweight too.)

Also, when I describe myself as "overweight" rather than "fat," I tend to feel better about my weight also.

Here are my numbers:
Height 5'2"
Weight: 155.3 pounds

My ideal weight is between 104-137 pounds, but "ideal weights" is supposedly and archaic term. I'm supposed to look at BMI now. My ideal BMI is between 19.1 and 25.8 kg/cubic meter, and mine is 28.3. Here is the calculator I used

So it's time to lose some weight.
