I'm overweight but not obese but I don't think it's as healthy for me as when I'll be in a normal weight range for my height a couple of months from now. I'm shooting for a max BMI of 24.9.

Wow maybe reducing or eliminating grains would help you.

I couldn't reduce them any more than I have. I also don't need any help as I'm doin' just fine.

Personally I truly am happy at my size but I want to know why society seems to think every overweight person is unhappy about their size,which is not true.I'm not going to starve myself any longer.

My question is..why is their no mention of being healthy yet overweight or even obese?it is possible but I never hear anything about it. Why?

With all due respect to you, you're the one at fault here. If you don't want to try and lose weight, to "conform to society's standards" as you put it, then don't.

No one is forcing you to do anything.

Good luck, whatever path you choose.
