My name is Ryan Maurice, and I am obese. I am not fat. I am not husky. I am not chubby. I am not even overweight. I am, with all excuses, fluff words, and bullshit aside, obese. While I don't necessarily find the Body Mass Index to be the most accurate way to indicate an appropriate Weight to Height ratio, I do know that it's not so unreliable as to be wrong about my diagnosis. I'm sick, and that sickness is obesity.
