Back from the doctors.
Good news and less good.
Firstly, I am actually OK; Stress and hormones have made my aches in various places (including my poor breasts) more pronounced, but there's nothing actually wrong with me. Quite a relief. He also recommended more water and sticking to my lactose-free diet which I'd begun to help with kidney related problems.
He also strongly recommended more exercise and eating more healthily, because....*drum roll*....
*pause*
I am now CLINICALLY OBESE.
*faints*
My BMI is that of an OBESE person.
From one extreme to the fucking other! 2 years ago I was UNDERWEIGHT and now I am 4 stone heavier, curvier and over-all happier, and lo, I am being told that I am TOO FAT.
Fucksocks.
Ah well. I shall just have be very, very careful with myself and set myself a realistic goal and time-frame and get into a "healthy" weight zone.
May I just add at this point that The Boy has been an absolute STAR over the last week. I love him more than words can say.

You know the BMI is a complete crock of shit, right? Have you seen Kate Harding's Illustrated BMI Project? *hugs much*
My darling, I have just spent a joyous moment looking at her site, and feel MUCH better ;) Thank you!!! xxxx
Bloglines wasn't updating your blog feed so I've just had 9 posts all come at once.
On the subject of the 'BMI', this arbitrary calculation would have rather a lot of professional athletes classed as obese.
I bet you look good naked. That's the only thing that counts. Everything else is just dressing.
Weight isn't important, health is important. As long as you are now healthy, because you weren't when you were very skinny, then who gives a fruit bun what some arbitrary indexing system says.

Froggy - Thank you my darling *HUGGLES* You are lovely xxxxxx Although I am not posting any naked photos of myself to prove how good I look, no matter how nicely you talk to me!
