I had off work today but had to go to the main office to pick something up.  I ran into the CEO of the organization and he fussed over me and my weight loss.  Now, we are very lucky that our organization pays our insurance premium 100% if you meet 5 criteria-you don't smoke, your blood pressure is controlled, you have a normal A1C or are actively being treated for diabetes, your cholesterol is normal or you are being treated and you have to have a BMI under 30.  If your BMI is above 30, you have to lose weight to either get to a 30 or lose 12 pounds in a specific time frame.  You have to pay 5% of the premium for each criteria you don't meet.

The CEO told me not to lose too much more weight because I'm looking good.  He asked me how much more I plan to lose (I am 5'8" and 240) and I said maybe 50-60 pounds.  He was shocked and said I shouldn't lose that much.  In order to meet the 30 BMI, I have to be in the low 190's.  So , he's basically telling me I would be too thin if I meet the criteria that he himself set up!

I would've responded "Look Mother f'er, I know you're my boss, but you better back the f up, mind your own mother f'in business and get out of my mother f'in face. And I dare you to fire me". (You must shake your head from side to side when you read this)

Of course I wouldn't really respond like that.

Yes, I'd like to know his response when he finds out that you don't yet meet HIS requirements.
