    I am overweight, on the BMI scale anyways.

    But in an office setting, I’m rather normal sized. Put me in a line of 100 people, and I’m easily in the top 20 of not fat.

    When I went to event in Europe and Asia, my God… I’m so fat. I was easily the fattest person at dinner, as I was ordering a meal and appetizers, then cleaning my plate.

      Sadly the health effects aren’t relative. BMI isn’t perfect of course, but can at least serve as an indicator to check with a doctor if you’d benefit from a change

      If your anecdote is true, start practicing self-control before this behavior kills you.

      No one gets out of this alive, but health complications due to gluttony is an awful way to go. Normally, I’d not care so much, but now at 41, I’ve known several that died because of their eating.
