It was designed just to describe the distribution of height and weight. He just wanted a way to plot some stuff on a graph. Had NOTHING to do with health.

It frustrates me because as a large chested lady my doctor told me I was in the high overweight range when I was at my thinnest and couldn’t have lost much more. BMI was not created with boobs in mind.

A friend of mine lost 30gk and asked for a breast reduction. The doctor told her to first lose another 5kg to achieve her ideal BMI. She's just 1,60m with a G/H cup.

I'm waiting for phrenology to make a return :/

I don't think you really have to wait, because as an arbitrary measurement used to justify assigning pseudo-moral qualities to a segment of the population, BMI basically IS phrenology.

My Dr told me I was obese now cause I hit that 31 bmi and I told all my friends and bf and they all looked at me like I was fuckin crazy.

Had this experience too - I was told I was "borderline obese" when I was barely plus size. No, Dr. Becky, I'm just 5'8" & have a big cup size. BMI literally does not account for tall people. It's virtually impossible for anyone over 6' to have muscles & not be "overweight."

Ive been "obese" according to BMI at 165 lbs and maybe like size 12? Meanwhile I was 90 lbs out the same height at one point (underweight) and drs considered it healthier I had a digestive disorder they didn't catch until putting me on prednisone and blaming me for being fat

I actually mentioned this to my doctor. I think I said, "I don't believe in that system."
