> Racer is right, you are a normal weight.
I know I'm technically at a normal weight, but I really do have a lot of fat. Plus, Asians are overweight if they have a BMI of over 23. I'm just on the cusp of being overweight.
> Do not start dieting!!!!!!! Dieting ruins your metabolism and makes you fat.
It won't be a diet, it'll be a permanent change in eating.

I'm worried about the yo-yo dieting too. I'm going to try to exercise more to increase my metabolism.
