[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 741307, member: 18958"] This was a sad story Nomad. I think the medical professionals I see are extremely irresponsible about weight. What is it? Two thirds of people over 50 or whatever are overweight or obese? Give me a break. The medical people I see would be completely satisfied with me at 25 pounds heavier than I am. Completely satisfied. Why? because I would be overweight...and not obese. Why? After this thread I am revved up again to lose 15 pounds so that my BMI will be under 22 like that researcher. I was extremely comfortable at that weight in terms of movement, energy, less back pain. I am not uncomfortable now with a BMI of 24 or so, but why not go down? The nutritionist said that it is better, older, to have a cushion of fat in case one gets severely ill. The statistics show that somewhat overweight people live slightly longer, among the elderly. They may. But like Elsi said. The issue is quality of life. Do I want to have years where I feel good, I live well? Or do I want to have a cushion of fat so that in my final illness I linger longer? It really makes no sense when you think about it. Which is the beauty of this thread. It is provoking thought. [/QUOTE]
