<human>: Provide a brief overview of the text.

Before I get any hate for this post, I'm going to disclaim it with I know that a BMI of over 25 is considered overweight.

I'm an Asian 19 year old, 1.73 m (5'8"), 65 kg (143 lb) college student with measurements: 35 in bust, 27 in waist, 38 in hips. Because college sucks and I'm broke, I signed up for a study that took measurements in the form of FMRIs, RMR, and DEXA scans. I got my test results back today (along with quite a good bit of pocket money) and imagine my horror when I discovered that my body fat percentage was 35%.

Now I know that I'm just considered overweight for my age category (33%-39% is considered overweight for females 20-40 yrs old), but keep in mind that I was a three time varsity athlete in high school at a weight of 56.8 kg (125 lb). Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know I did literally the freshman 20. But it was hard to break the habit of eating tons every day, which I did because I was starving while working out to stay in peak condition at least 2 hrs a day, even after I stopped going to the gym because laziness.

I found [this article] that actually explains my situation very well. To sum it up, BMI means different things to different ethnicities, and has different implications for disease - for example, the article notes that "researchers found that at the same BMI, Asians had more than double the risk of developing type 2 diabetes than whites."

Getting type 2 diabetes is the opposite of what I want to do, so I've become more than motivated to go to the gym and utilize my campus's several really good gyms, but back on drinking, and start eating way healthier (less midnight pizza??). This side account is going to be for my journey from fat for an Asian to healthy for an Asian.
<bot>: I got DEXA scan results back, found out I was overweight for an Asian, and decided to get my life back together.
