Hi! I probably missed it in your writing but what are the age differences (if any) in UtB and Spoils between Efnisien and Gwyn?

Hi anon!

You haven't missed it because I don't think I've made it explicit. When ages are very close to each other I tend to get confused a lot more easily because of the dyscalculia. The reality is I rarely specifically work out many character's exact ages, or the years that they were born. (As an example, if I say a character is 29 then they mentally stay 29 for me even if we jump ahead 10 years).

I would say Efnisien and Gwyn were actually born within about a year of each other, but don't quote me on that, because there might be references to them being in different years in school etc. But I always imagine them as being very close because I imagine Penny and Crielle sort of timing things to be close together.

In the canon, Efnisien was born first. But they were still fairly close to each other.

@tiredemomama linked me this height comparison chart generator and boy, it changes everything.

So convenient?

Can we take a moment to appreciate how smoll Crocodile single-handedly makes all these above average toll people seem?

The NHS is bizarre

What is going on? I’ve already come to the conclusion that NHS psychiatric care is extremely extremely messed up so I won’t bother writing about that.

My dad had a health scare this week. He collapsed twice at home and my family called an ambulance. They declared it a ‘freak blood pressure event’ and said no A and E but an emergency doctor would come the next morning. (Thankfully he tells me he’s been fine ever since. Also he happens to be due for routine cardiology stuff today so if it’s that it could be ruled out).

Before the emergency doctor came our local GP practice diagnosed him with pre-diabetes and signed him up for a diet coaching app. The app asked for his height and weight and told him he was very obese and to cut out all of his food staples. The emergency doctor checked his vitals including BM and said he definitely wasn’t pre-diabetic, he was perfectly healthy. He also took his weight and despite it being the same as usual said my dad was far from being obese and the app made no sense. What in the lying/scaremongering/over diagnosing/ diet-culture app advertising heck is going on? This system angers and scares me more every day.

Yesterday my dad celebrated his new found normality by eating porridge. Good for him. It’s his favourite but the app banned it.

I would be fine if transformers were real. Soundwave could be standing right in front of me and I'd think "Wow this giant alien robot could kill me with noise, but he's not as big as the other giant beast on this plandt that can kill me with noise and more importantly I am not in the water while it's happening" And I'd just continue about my day.

Can we add that love languages is also extraordinarily sexist and invented by a white baptist preacher who practiced marriage counseling (with no counseling degree or credentials) for christian couples and basically used it to convince women that they should put up with their useless sexpest husbands. And he was homophobic too.

I can't keep having the same conversations about love languages, mbti, iq, bmi, "brain fully formed at 25" and shit over and over again...

I don’t give a shit about a single thing Mia Goth does but I love that we got that height/weight chart.

[diabetes-health-corner]

Body Mass Index is the ratio to body weight (measured in kilograms) to height (measured in meters). It is a simple numerical measurement that enables the classification of people on the basis of their body composition.The WHO today recognizes the validity of the Body mass index (BMI) and has set the following ranges to determine the distinction between being thin and being overweight or obese.

the first time I got drunk, I kept waiting to feel "out of control", which was the way drunkenness had always been described in books or been portrayed on screen. But even as I got progressively drunker, I still felt like I was the one making all the decisions; there was never some foreign entity that took over and started doing weird things while I watched helplessly from behind my own eyes. I felt fuzzy, so I knew the alcohol was having a chemical effect on me, but I assumed that was what people meant when they said someone was "tipsy."

I only started to wonder if maybe I'd misunderstood something when I fell over.

What I'm saying is, it's entirely possible these writers HAVE gotten drunk before, they just didn't understand how drunk they actually were!

i love when fic writers who have clearly never tried any kind of alcohol in their lives try to write someone drinking bc they're always like

"he ordered a tall glass of hard liquor. after three large glasses he was feeling tipsy" like babygirl i can't be sure but i think u just sent this man to the hospital

[sunshineandrosesnoraincamemyway]

I wish there was a website where you could input a character's description (height, weight, sex, medical conditions, etc.) And a situation (car crash, falls, stabbing, etc.) And it would calculate for you from most to least likely the injuries that character would receive, potential complications, and how long it would take recover. This would make writing injuries SO MICH EASIER if I wasn't guessing at everything

Everything you need to know about BMI: calculation, importance and limitations

[allcalculator]

Make use of an ideal weight calculator to save time

Mention the Ideal weight for men and women.

AllCalculator.net’s  The Ideal Weight ranges for men and women are mentioned based on the formulas are:

Ideal weight calculator for men!

Robinson formula (1983) – 52 kg + 1.9 kg per every inch over 5 feet

Miller formula (1983) – 56.2 kg + 1.41 kg per every inch over 5 feet

Hamwi formula (1964) – 48.0 kg + 2.7 kg per every inch over 5 feet

Devine formula (1974) – 50.0 kg + 2.3 kg per every inch over 5 feet

Ideal weight calculator for women!

Robinson formula (1983) – 49 kg + 1.7 kg per every inch over 5 feet

Miller formula (1983) – 53.1 kg + 1.36 kg per every inch over 5 feet

Hamwi formula (1964) – 45.5 kg + 2.2 kg per every inch over 5 feet

Devine formula (1974) – 45.5 kg + 2.3 kg per every inch over 5 feet

Are there any limitations to the IBW calculator?

Ideal weight calculator has a general guideline based on formulas. The results are not intended as strict values; a person is considered an ideal weight.

The formula is designed to apply to a wide range of people as possible 

The formulas factor are based on height and gender

There are no special considerations for physical handicaps

How should I weigh?

Age - A large determinant of an IBW is past 14-15 for girls and 16-17 for boys after people stop growing. Human males and females lose 1.5 and 2 inches in height by age 70.

Gender – females weigh less than males and have a higher body fat percentage. Women have lower bone density, whereas men tend to be taller than females. 

Height - The taller persons, the more muscle mass and body fat they have, which results in more weight. A male at a similar height to a female should weigh about 10-20% heavier.

Body Frame size – it impacts the measurement of ideal weight.

hi, i'm a fat person who is just starting to learn to love and appreciate my body and i'm very new to the fat community and all that.

i was wondering if you could maybe explain the term ob*se and how it is a slur. i've never heard anything about it being a slur before(like i said, i'm very new here) and was wondering if you could tell me the origin and history of the word or mayy provide links to resources about it? i want to know more about fat history and how to support my community but i'm unsure of how to start

Welcome!

Obesity is recognized as a slur by fat communities because it's a stigmatizing term that medicalizes fat bodies, typically in the absence of disease. Aside from the word literally translating to "having eaten oneself fat" in latin, obesity (as a medical diagnosis) straight up doesn't actually exist. The only measure that we have to diagnose people with obesity is the BMI, which has been widely proven to be an ineffective measure of health.

The BMI was created in the 1800s by a statistician named Adolphe Quetelet, who did NOT sudy medicine, to gather statistics of the average height and weight of ONLY white, european, upper-middle class men to assist the government in allocating resources. It was never intended as a measure of individual body fat, build, or health. 

Quetelet is also credited with founding the field of anthropometry, including the racist pseudoscience of phrenology. Quetelet’s l’homme moyen would be used as a measurement of fitness to parent, and as a scientific justification for eugenics.

Studies have observed that about 30% of so-called "normal weight" people are "unhealthy" whereas about 50% of so-called "overweight" people are “healthy”. Thus, using the BMI as an indicator of health results in the misclassification of some 75 million people in the United States alone. "Healthy" lifestyle habits are associated with a significant decrease in mortality regardless of baseline body mass index.  

While epidemiologists use BMI to calculate national "obesity" rates, the distinctions can be arbitrary. In 1998, the National Institutes of Health lowered the overweight threshold from 27.8 to 25—branding roughly 29 million Americans as "overweight" overnight—to match international guidelines. Articles about the "obesity epidemic" often use this pseudo-statistic to create a false fear mongering rate at which the United States is becoming fatter. Critics have also noted that those guidelines were drafted in part by the International Obesity Task Force, whose two principal funders were companies making weight loss drugs. Interesting!!!

So... how can you diagnose a person with a disease (and sell them medications) solely based upon an outdated measure that was never meant to indicate health in the first place? Especially when "obesity” has no proven causative role in the onset of any chronic condition?

There is a reason as to why fatness was declared a disease by the NIH in 1998, and some of it had to do with acknowledging fatness as something that is NOT just about a lack of willpower - but that's a very complicated post for another time. You can learn more about it in the two part series of Maintenance Phase titled The Body Mass Index and The Obesity Epidemic.

Aside from being overtly incorrect as a medical tool, the BMI is used to deny certain medical treatments and gender-affirming care, as well insurance coverage. Employers still often offer bonuses to workers who lower their BMI. Although science recognizes the BMI as deeply flawed, it's going to be tough to get rid of. It has been a long standing and effective tool for the oppression of fat people and the profit of the weight loss industry.
