I did the body fat calculator and I am now at 20% according to my calculations. This tips me over in to "Athlete". I do not feel like an athlete. I feel slow and heavy and week. Especially after yesterday's WOD. I missed round 6 because I had to stop to throw up. Yes, I threw up again. I know it is associated with the heat. My body does not handle heat well at all. I now know I need to soak my t-shirt in water before the WOD now.
That is besides the point right now. What are our views of fitness in this country? I wonder if our charts have adjusted to our waist size. Or do I have a distorted body image. Maybe it is a little of both but this is the chart:

| Description | Women | Men |
|---|---|---|
| Essential fat | 10–13% | 2–5% |
| Athletes | 14–20% | 6–13% |
| Fitness | 21–24% | 14–17% |
| Average | 25–31% | 18–24% |
| Obese | 32%+ | 25%+ |
I am aiming for 15%. I am hoping by that point you will be able to see my abs.
Ford Modeling agency has created a new division of plus size models. Although I agree with this article that these women do not look plus size to me (I really do not think an 8 is a plus size). They do not look fit.
