I just want a bit of a whinge really. I had a health check yesterday and it was all good - healthy bmi (24 so not ridic but still I am ok with that), good body fat - 25%, excellent heart, blood pressure, cholesterol etc but my waist was 83cm which apparently is a risk factor for all kinds of things. I don't want to obsess about it but it just seems a bit weird and annoying - I comfortably fit size 12 clothes, am 5'10" and do 5 high intensity workouts a week with lots of core/abs work in there. I never saw my tummy as a trouble zone, it's pretty flat tbh and I have had 2 kids so I was pleased with that. I am as thin if not thinner than I have ever been in my adult life. There are a few things that bother me about it: 1. Why the same measurement for all women?
- How come I often have to take a 28 waist in jeans if my waist is over 30 inches?
- Does this mean all size 12 women have waists that are too big?
- Any tips for regaining a bit of fuck you confidence?
I felt kind of shit afterwards and I can only imagine how I would feel if I wasn't within healthy ranges on other things. I don't think they meant to make me feel bad but it's a bit like wtf do I have to do??!
