I had my annual doctor visit last Friday. My BMI is not in the normal range (and may never be), but for the first time in 29 years I was not obese. Of course my doctor was very happy about that. At one point in the examination she asked me to lay back and she started poking around my abdomen with there hands. She said gleefully and with a smile on here face "There is nothing here! Just look at that. Nothing!" I don't think she was talking about a tumor. Having a boatload of visceral fat and a protruding belly is the norm for people my age and my doctor was astonished to see how flat my belly now lies.
