I've always felt the same way. For you and I it's our body build...big shoulders and thick thighs My excuse is that I'm 6'1 with a 29 1/2 inseam. If I'd had normal length legs I'd be 6'4 and with my weight would be within the BMI. I've never been within the BMI 176 pounds and never will unless I catch some weight loss disease...haha!!
