Im just a Hippy Dolly Parton

I know Ive said that my whole life. But, this is getting sad. I mean really. Dr. Oz says that for a woman a waist size of 32 1/2 inches or lower is good for heart health.  When I started this diet  I weighed 193 lbs  My measurements were 42 1/2, 33 1/2,  42 1/2 With a BMI of 33.6  Now, Im 187 lbs.  My measurements are 41, 31 1/2, 41 3/4  and my BMI is like 31.7 I think.   

I have a near perfect hour glass figure.  I realize I did when I was a teenager but after having 6 kids you would think it would be unheard of.   What Im finding funny about the whole thing, is the smaller my waist gets the more like Dolly Parton I feel.  

My question is, how can I qualify as severly overweight and still have a healthy waist size?  Oh I know.  Boobs are all fat and a few glans.  LOL 

At least at 35 bone loss has yet to be a problem and Im not retaining to much water.  I just have to figure out how to target burn the fat which I know I can't.   Yadah Yadah Yadah.   So, I either try to get back down to the 38 26 38 measurements I had pre-baby or accept that based upon the new studies, my risk of dieing like daddy are gone with the wind and the rest doesn't really matter.

I think Ill try for my pre-baby days.  LOL
