For the Fat Acceptance goobs, I’ve had to work out really hard for nearly three years to get to a point where the BMI scale starts being a poor measure for me (coming from normal body fat). Someone with better genetics might be able to do it faster, but I’ve also been working out extremely hard — and very consistently, too.

Trust me, you aren’t “too muscular” for the BMI scale. It’s just lard and you are fat. That’s all.

I went from around 150 pounds to about 165 pounds at 5’8″. Still, that only puts me just barely off the “normal” part of the BMI scale. And unlike all y’all, that is packing on a lot of fucking muscle. I’ve put on 15 total pounds but around 20-25 pounds of muscle (muscle replaced lost adipose tissue).

Reality: you’re just fat unless you’ve done what I have done.
