I have a really close friend of mine who thinks she is fat when she's not and I'm a little worried about her. She weighs about 210 pounds now and is almost 65 years old.
See the thing is the meds that she's on right now causes her to gain weight as a side effect. But she's only put on about 20 pounds total from the meds I guess. But she is in her mid 60s and she's afraid of having a heart attack or stroke. I tried reassuring her that if her cholesterol is normal than odds are she won't have one. Especially since she hasn't had one ever. So her heart attack risk is minimal. I also told her that since she exercisises and takes care of herself than odds are she's going to live to be at least 80 or 90. I told her that my grandfather weighed about 250 lbs and had two strokes and he still lived to be almost 90. He was 88 and a half when he passed.
I just don't get why all women think they're fat and freak out over nothing. If you want fat I can stick out my gut for you lol. IM fat but then again I weigh almost 400 pounds. I mean 210 pounds isn't fat at all I wish I weighed 210 pounds. But I think she's just falling prey to the multitudes of men who say that women need to be like 140 pounds. Doctors say it too but honestly? I don't trust doctors. I just don't know what to do with my friend or what to tell her that'll make her feel better and realize that she isn't fat. I honestly don't know how her bone structure is but big boned people are SUPPOSED to weigh more than other people. The BMI calculator doesn't take that into account.
