Overweight? Moi?



Overweight? Moi?
Originally uploaded by Daniel Greene

Yeah, I could take about 3 pounds of fat off my belly, but it irks me to be called “overweight” by my new Wii Fit. I’m 5’10 1/2″ and the Wii Fit only let me enter either 5’10″ or 5’11″ when I set it up over a week ago. I entered 5’10″ and it kept telling me I was “overweight” in its robotic little child’s voice and fattening up my Mii until it looked like a barrel on sticks. After more than a week of that, I finally said, “Damn it!” and changed my height to 5’11″. Why not round up instead of down? Now, it tells me I’m “normal”– at the very heaviest end of normal. Can you believe that? Urgh!
