(Tw: body dismorphia, ED) What do you guys think of Bmi charts do you think they are helpful or inaccurate?
This is my body right now I've lost 35lbs in the past year and my bmi is 24.4 which is apparently slightly overweight / just under the healthy weight line. The logical part of me would like to think that everyone has different body types and caloric needs so the Bmi charts isn't completely accurate. But my obsessive body dismorphia believes that it is and still wants me to lose more weight even if it means eating less than the recommended amount of calories for an active adult. I would like an outsiders perspective, because I have struggled with eating disorders in the past and I still struggle immensely with body dismorphia so I really don't know if others see me how I see myself. Do I look slightly overweight? (Please be honest) and what do you think about the Bmi chart?

As I mentioned to Harriet in the comments, BMI is outdated and a relic of the past, so definitely disregard it. Even so, you look *ab fab* (AB-so-looooote-ly FAB-oh-luss 馃槢) in this selfie. Everything about you is perfect, so simply maintain all that you're doing now. Hope that made at least some sense! 馃槀
@Poetvann Vann you're soooooooo welcome (!!!) and hopefully it did boost your self confidence. Many other members obviously feel the same way in the comments. :)
