title : Underweight?!

Let's made this a short one! ^o^

Today, we wen to the small PE room near the general office to weigh ourselves. Why we had to weigh ourselves? We weigh not to know our height and weight, as well as the fats processed in our bodies. These were the result of a problem that was introduced to us to help us stay healthy and to slim down as well.

First, we were all given a small healthy booklet about 10cm by 20cm. We are supposed to record our daily intake n the exercises we done in that particular day.

Next, before recording, we had to know fill in all the particulars about our bodies- our height, weight, BMI, RM, fats etc.

Then, we will have to record the energy intake for a month. At the start of every month, we are supposed to have our weight weigh as well as others using that special machine the school has in the PE room.

Therefore, today, two hours after we had our lunch, we went to weigh ourselves on that special machine. I was afraid that the readings I got would be terrible. Hence I tried to hide, wishing I could be the last one to take the measurement. However, they were too slow. Since there was another one lying just beside me, my classmate started to calibrate that machine n asked me to stand on it. Oh my...

Guess what!! I was fit, meaning that the fats I had was just 20.1% of the total substance in my body. It was considered normal, however I was just 0.2% away from the range "Low". T.T
There was another thing that surprised me, was my BMI. My BMI was only 18.4; which is considered underweight?! Ya, the booklet states that people with BMI<18.5 are underweight, so I was underweight by 0.1! I still feel that I need to slim a bit more... (I think someone will kill me after reading this particular sentence!) One of my classmates saw my data n she exclaimed,"Oh my! U're damn skinny!"

Almost forget about this, there was also a column that tells u your body age. Hei hei~ My body age was 18, kind of young.(18 is the smallest value.) Only four girls, including me, had our body age as 18, while the others had 20 plus. One even had a body age of 38, and she exclaimed that that was why she cant run because she was old. HA! HA! Is that funny? She even think of telling her CCA teacher that so that the teacher will not ask her to run.
