I don't feel "underweight"...

According to this online BMI calculator, I could weigh fucking 145 pounds and still be considered NORMAL. Ew, ew, ew!!


Does the BMI standards differ in other countries? Like what I'm saying is, America is fat. If I weighed 145 pounds I would be fat but considered "normal". In other countries is the standard for "normal" lower?
I'm just curious. I'm only 5'4" so that seems like a LOT of weight for my height. Maybe my brain is just screwed up into thinking that though. I really can't tell anymore.

Right now my BMI is technically "underweight" but I don't look like it and I certainlly don't feel like it.

Skinny for prom!!!!!

    Stay strong~ We can do it! :)

    And I don't think BMI standards differ in other countries. But yeah... to me, "normal" always equals "fat" and "underweight" equals "acceptable" and "emaciated" equals "skinny."
