Why isn't there a pro average BMI movement? Nothing good comes from being underweight, overweight, or obese. Personally, I'm overweight, and trying to lose weight to put me less at risk at developing type 2 diabetes, which I am genetically at high risk for. All the fat acceptance stuff and "size 14 is not fat" stuff pisses me off because it's literally life or death for me, and likely many others. I'm a size 8 and even my doctor says I need to lose weight or I'll have to start taking meds. Ive lowered my blood glucose, but being overweight still puts one at risk. I still have issues with junk food, but I'm better now that a lot of junk has calorie labels that discourage me some. Trying to be less of an emotional eater. It's more than whether curves are sexy or not. Someone can be skinny and still curvy, anywyays. Candice Swanepoel and a 90s Tyra Banks, for example, are curvier than my size 8 self. I don't get what positivity comes through fat acceptance, whatsoever. Yeah we're being complacent about our health, high five! It's all down to diet and exercise, we can't wonder why there's an obesity epidemic and simultaneously accept obesity. It's not that obese people should go die or something, everyone can lose weight. I gave up junk food for lent and went to the gym 2-3 times a week and in 1 month I lost 10 pounds. Even models lose weight, the whole "naturally skinny" thing is a myth. It takes dedication, and in time, you'll get used to it. I'm still getting there, and I'm not hopeless, and no one should be, to the point where they consider their health flaw a source of empowerment. (link)

Heres the thing.
You may be overweight and a size 8, but sizes don't determine whether you are overweight or not. I am a size 11, but still in the normal, average range bmi wise, so size isn't a good indicator. Health wise is between you and your doctor, but beauty is irrelevant to health. You can be beautiful and underweight, or beautiful and overweight.
Health is something that should be considered separately than beauty.

Hello, I have just graduated college last week with a bachelor's degree in Business Administration with a major in Accounting.
My parents seem to really, really want me to take the CPA exam, but the thing is, I'm not sure if I want to.
Should I take the exam to please my parents?
Or should I go for something I want to go for?

I don't believe it could really hurt you to take. Just because you take it doesn't mean you have to go through with that career path but if you pass you at least have a backup. :)
