Ginormous blob of fat

frualeydisRight now I feel fattest in the world. A friend of mine wrote a post in her blog about the ongoing controversy (at least in Sweden) about Gwyneth Paltrow starving herself to loose 20 kilos after her pregnancy. I use the word starving here since she has said in interviews that she cried herself to sleep from hunger.
Anyway, my friend stated that it wasn't weird to want to loose 20 kilos of overweight - of course she would want to, implying that Gwyneth was really fat before she lost them But it wasn't 20 kilos of overweight, it was 20 kilos more than her normal, very low weight. I assume that Gwyneth, who's a little taller than me weighs 50-55 kilos. That means that 20 kilos more would mean that a) she's still in the healthy range of the BMI scale and b) she weighs less than I do; which in turns leads to obvious the conclusion that I am really, really too fat.
So forget about loosing 5 kilos and enter the "normal BMI range", I really need to loose twenty kilos, otherwise I'm fat.
This is not improving my mood, which wasn't to good to begin with, with menstrual cramps.

Don't try to compare yourself with her. She is not "normal" (whatever that is supposed to mean anyway! After all, what is "normal". There really isn't anything "normal" about anyone. If there was, we'd all be clones!).
