how to be anorexic
I went to Crosswords yesterday to buy a birthday gift for a friend and ended up checking out the Health section. I picked this book called ‘Count your Calories’ and according to it, i was moderately obese! I then looked at the ideal weight which was apparently 37.7 kgs for my height, which is the perfect weight only if I wanted to be anorexic!

That's crazy. You and I are approximately the same height, and I've heard that our ideal weight should be 50-55 kilos! (Not taking into account the bone structure, muscle mass, and other stuff.) I'm well above that weight, but I'm still healthy, so I guess I'm just a little plump weight-wise.
I think the book you saw was a fraud. Don't go by it. Just eat properly and be active (you live at your parents, don't you? Count yourself lucky!) aand stick to reading fiction instead! ;)
@Aubrey: My ideal weight would be around 48 kgs...I think.
@Brown Suga' : Yeah the book's a quack. I think I shall take your advice about reading fiction!
@lostdwarf: uh. I am just a few centimetres above 5 ft. :D I am about 110 pounds? and aspire to lose a few...but darn its difficult:(
You know, the actual weight isn't what matters. It's a sense of health. At your present size/health, are you able to do the things you want to do? Do you have enough energy to accomplish things? Do you have enough energy to accomplish MORE than what you think you can?
For me, that's the goal. Hell, you're already gorgeous, the weight's nothing!
