On a whim I plugged my height and weight into an online calculator. My body-mass index (BMI) is 32.8, which "indicates moderate obesity." Given my height (5'7") and build ("medium," in the absence of any assistive description), I should weigh 155-160 pounds.
I currently weigh 210. Fifty pounds overweight.
Shit.
Well, on the upside, every time I visit Htet Htet she offers to feed me, and she actually makes healthy food as opposed to the french-bread pizzas I tend to feed myself. (Y'know, it's a real shame she's not single.)
I s'pose it's possible for me to lose most of the weight between now and the exipration of my lease next summer. But given that exercise is boring I wouldn't bet on it.
