This has really been eating away at me lately. Any time I watch TV and women talk about weight they're always tall and weigh like 115 lbs which is completely unhealthy. Then guys assume that women who are 5'9'' and 5'10'' are supposed to weigh 110 lbs even though that's malnourished and dangerous (hence the rules created in Spain for models).

Anyways...I wanted to attempt to set the record straight by posting a website with a BMI chart and descriptions of what is healthy and what isn't. I really hope people take the time to look at it and realize that women are not supposed to be that skinny! It's an unhealthy concept created by society and frankly, it's starting to piss me off.
