The BMI scale ISN’T what you think it is! ⚠️ #SpringOnYouTube

It’s true! The BMI scale was never developed to assess an individuals weight gain or weight loss, but was created to assess whole populations for mathematical reasons. 🧮

The scale lacks individual assessment, any kind of intersectionality, or neuance. Meaning that many who struggle with disordered eating or eating disorders go without the support they so desperately need 😞
