Just want to tell you forget what the doctor says you are not obese you may
be slightly overweight but are very far from obese,,,,,,you Body mass index
is 25 which is a health weight so if you ever see your doc again tell him to
read up on healthy weight,,,,, you are the perfect weight for your hight,,,,
