It's a somewhat controversial index of correct weight to height to muscle mass, etc. What's important is that your organ systems are healthy and functioning well, that you're not putting undue stress on your body either from poor nutrition or no nutrition, and that you love yourself for exactly who you are even if you never change a bit.
