Is BMI the Best Tool to Determine Healthy Weight?
Body Mass Index is thus the ratio to body weight (measured in kilograms) to height (measured in meters). It is a simple numerical measurement that enables the classification of people on the basis of their body composition.

I know BMI is kinda bullshit, but I can't help but be happy that I'm officially not overweight anymore.
Hope you all having a good day too!

Just opened an insurance claim summary and discovered that some medical professional decided that they needed to put “MORBID (SEVERE) OBESITY DUE TO EXCESS CALORIES” front and center as a diagnosis and now I feel like shit 🙃✌🏻

I need people to understand that eating disorders are classed as mental illnesses for a reason. They are mental disorders affecting one's relationship with food and/or body image. Eating disorders are NOT weight disorders.
Telling people that their weight is "too high" to have an eating disorder solely by BMI when they are already losing weight faster than should be warranted but not yet "underweight" is telling someone who is already struggling mentally that they aren't "sick enough" to have a problem or need help. It's asking them to get worse to "prove" that they have an ED.

Food for thought...
I’s like to point out that I think someone needs to educate authors Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman on a person’s healthy body weight when it comes to Raistlin Majere from Dragonlance.
According to his stats on page 22 of the 1984 D&D Module: DL 5-Dragons of Mystery, he’s 5′9″ weighing in at 135 pounds. They repeatedly hammer home how sickly, frail, and skeletal he his throughout the books like he’s something abhorrent to look at.
Well, according to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute’s BMI chart, our buddy Raistlin comes in at a 19.9 on the scale. On the lowish end of normal...
This leaves me to wonder how people viewed skinny people in the 80s with so many macho man bulgy muscle flicks like Conan the Barbarian and the like... Anyway, images as proof:

more Gin Ichimaru headcanons that No One asked for (1/2)
(This post is about Gin Ichimaru from BLEACH. It is talking about eating disorders so TW for talk about weight, mental health, and self-destructive behavior)
Gin has an eating disorder.
Or, has cycled through many eating disorders over the years.
Let me list some canon traits he has that could mean he has a disorder (with pictures!).
First off, and most obvious: He's abnormally thin. I mean, just look at his wrists? Also his narrower face, prominent collar bones and jugular.
Tumblr media
His actual personality isn't known, even though he was well known by his squad, popular in the Soul Society and could even be considered friends other squad captains. "Gin" was simply a character for the outside world. This can be a sign of emotional isolation, which individuals with eating disorders tend to do as these disorders can have feeling of hopelessness and low self-esteem. It can also be attributed to people who struggle with depression, anxiety, and trauma.
In Gin's case I attribute him hiding his true self to his possible insecurities and lower self esteem (you can also say he has had lots of pressure on him because of his prodigy status in the academy). High expectations and stereotypes can lead to imposter syndrome, low self esteem, and a desire for control in one's life. That control is often found in the restriction of food and the numbers on a scale...
Even Rangiku, (regardless of what he believed he needed to keep secret from her because of Aizen) didn't know basic things about his life, it could mean he possibly didn't think he was good enough for her. I assume that she didn't know much about his life during captaincy because when we get flashbacks from her life that involve Gin, he is usually portrayed as his child self. Everything Rangiku believes and knows about Gin is from their childhood together (The Gin we see in her vision, after the battle with Aizen, while she's standing outside the cave Toshiro is training in, is still her imagination based on child Gin).
Tumblr media
He really really likes persimmons. You may be thinking "Alice that general Gin Knowledge that's his biggest personality point" and you're right. But if I stretch it a bit, it's his safe food. He eats mostly persimmons (besides from the fact that it's probably the only thing he could get as a child) and he made sure that the 3rd division filled it's garden with the trees. Many people with eating disorders have a food they are hyper-focused on. Also, he was known to give out the persimmons whenever he "dried too many" (Bleach Official Bootleg). Perhaps they were a binge trigger?
TW AND NOTE (AGAIN):
FROM HERE I WILL BE TALKING ABOUT BMI AND EXACT HEIGHTS AND WEIGHTS.
NOTE: GIN ICHIMARU IS A FICTIONAL CHARACTER AND IS IN NO WAY CONNECTED TO REALITY AND HUMAN PHYSICAL HEALTH.
I UNDERSTAND BMI IS NOT A MEASURE OF ONE'S PHYSICAL OR MENTAL HEALTH. FOR THE SAKE OF MY ARGUMENT, I WILL BE CALCULATING GIN'S BMI FROM THE DATA PROVIDED ON HIS WIKI PAGE
Gin's BMI (using the most recent BMI calculator) at 73 inches and 152lbs is 19.15. The underweight BMI point range for adult males is 17.501-20.70.
According to BMI, Gin is classified as underweight.
Remember "less than 6% of people with eating disorders are medically diagnosed as “underweight.” Nevertheless, if we take in his BMI when looking at the possibility of him having an eating disorder (and not, say, just a fast metabolism) all of these observations lead me to believe that he is affected by either anorexia or bulimia.
And that is all for canon evidence that sparked my headcanon
Headcanon coming up in part 2

Disabled culture is going to see a doctor about a new medical scare and being able to predict exactly what they’re going to suggest, because it’s the exact same thing every doctor tells you for everything
#disabled culture is#ableism tw#medical ableism#like. ma’am. i just had a terrifying experience and am seeking medical help to make sure it doesnt become a regular occurrence#you do not need to treat me like a toddler#‘just eat more and get your bmi to a better range and you’ll be fine :)’ MA’AM#i am aware i weigh about as much as a sopping wet kitten but i am not here about the autoimmune disease causing that#i am here because i fainted hit my head and felt like i was experiencing violet involuntary movement even though i wasn’t#anyway congrats to this doctor for taking two hours to tell me something i learned from talking with potsies like 6 years ago#anyway my shock thoughts are really funny. she pressed on my nails to check for dehydration and my single thought was#‘thats not how they did it on mythbusters >:(‘#fr tho uhhh fainting is super scary and i salute everyone who deals with it regularly#also is it normal to like.#i felt like my head was jerking around and I couldn’t stop it and that lasted for like a full minute after i was aware again#couldn’t talk or move like my arms or anything while it was happening#doctor literally just waved me off when i asked. if anyone has any insight on why i felt like that when my head wasnt moving pls lemme know#also tbh i dont even know if it technically counts as fainting. my eyes were open the whole time apparently#but everything before and after the fall for about a minute is blank#anyway uh! we think im fine! no blood and probably no concussion the only thing with major damage is the wall lol

Having bpd and not being suicidal for more than a day gotta be impossible I swear. My emotions are too unstable to not have suicidal thoughts atleast once they out the day. And it could be over something that will just be minor to most but to me my brains is like we must kill ourselves now

Unless it's a well thought out intervention coming from a place of genuine concern, let's not bring up people's weight when talking to them 👍
