This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

What's crazy to me is that most people think I'm "skinny," but until a few months ago, I was actually a few pounds overweight, and I could still stand to lose a few pounds because I'm right at the border between normal and overweight for most BMI calculators at 24.5-ish (haven't done an actual medical BMI/body fat calculation though). I'm tall w/ a 34" waist, which is near the lower end of the pants sizes when I go to the store.

So when you go out looking at people, just understand that the "normal" ones may also be overweight.
