Just another reason for me to avoid Texas. I work in a medical facility, I'm amazing at my job, and I have a BMI of 35.8. I also walk 4 miles a day to and from work, jog at least 4 times a week, am a vegetarian, and have excellent blood pressure (well, it's probably higher after reading this ridiculous bs).
Also, why did you say "fatties" in the post? That's pretty rude and terrible. One of my major struggles as I've tried to lose weight has been hating my body; the less you like your body, the more likely you'll self-harm with food, binge and purge, whatever. Shaming people doesn't make them thin, it makes them miserable. I was very thin in high school, but I also starved myself and binged/purged. I'm much healthier now, but the non-medical-professionals who run that hospital clearly wouldn't believe me.
Those of you who think that a 35+ BMI means you're unprofessional and seriously super fat oh my god will somebody please think of the children, check out www.mybodygallery.com and actually look at people's pictures. Look, for example, at this girl: http://www.mybodygallery.com/photos-14820-body-shape.htm#img. She has my exact measurements, which means a BMI over 35. Would you be astounded and disgusted to have her process your medical bills or deliver your children?
