I found a story on 180 Degree Health written by a woman who became bulimic in her teens due to being told by a doctor that her BMI was high. My hope is that less and less doctors are using the outdated BMI chart. When I was 13 years old, I was told my BMI was high. My guess is that I was sub 8% body fat and simply had a decent degree of leg muscle mass for my height.
On a side note, have you seen Fiona Apple lately. She looks so much better at a healthy body fat level. I don’t post enough about eating disorders, but many of the mainstream women in Hollywood are beginning to get scary skinny!
