*sigh* I have posted about this before.
My body fat percentage is in the healthy range, my waist-to-hip ratio is in the healthy range...and, most importantly, I feel good with this goal. I am not willing to make myself sick, or spend half my life in the gym, just to get to some arbitrary number that in the long run means very little. My doctor is in agreement.
Now, that's not to say that at some point in the future I won't attempt to go lower. But right now? I'm happy where I am and have no desire to go any lower.
I have spent the past fourteen months thinking, "Oh, I *have* to get to 125, I *have* to get to 125." And recently I've come to realize that for me, at this point in time, that's bullshit, regardless of whether or not 140 is a "healthy" weight for me. Yes, 140 pounds may be heavy for someone of my height, but you know what? If you could see me, you would not believe that I weigh that much. And I would much rather weigh 140 and *look* like I weigh 125, than weigh 125 and look like I weigh 100.
Sorry if I sound brusque, but I'm just kind of tired of people questioning me because my goal weight right now apparently isn't "acceptable." It's acceptable to ME. It's healthy to ME, because I feel better now than I have in my entire life. So this is where I am staying, at least for now, and I'm not interested, right now, in going any lower.
