Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ok so these are suppose to be the best years of my life and all that other fun s**t. Well I have friends telling me that I look "gross" because I've lost weight. I feel good about my body for the first time in probably 6 years and now I"m starting to second guess whether or not I should feel good about how I look now. They keep telling me I'm too skinny and that I look gross. Well These people that are saying this s**t are suppose to be my best friends. My best friend of 16 years was always a size 3 until we hit about 17 and she started gaining weight. Now she's like a size 11 or 13. Well I was always a size 11 until about April and I started just dropping weight like crazy. I'm down to a size 3 the last time I checked and I'm pretty sure I've lost weight since then. I'm not trying to lose weight it's just happening. I eat all the time just like I always have. I don't eat anything too healthy for me. I mainly eat junk food. The more I eat the more weight I lose. I've already tried to gain a little weight back and so I ate more and ended up losing another 5 lbs. I can't help it. I'm getting really sick of people telling me I look "gross" though.

According to Pepsiman he wouldn't be able to tell a difference so I'll post a few pictures to show the difference.



That was me in my outfit that I was wearing to Rocky back in February. The size of that outfit was XL



Then of course that's me in my outfit for Rocky this month. That outfit the sizes were a S bottom and an XS top.

There's a huge difference in weight there.

I think you look great in both of the pictures. But I am glad that you are proud of how you look. Keep it up if you want. But if you want to gain it back then that is up to you. Just forget what other people have to say. If they think that you are "gross" (wtf) then let them think that. If people like Andy and myself say you look great then let them think that as well. What matters is how you feel about it.

They're just jealous. And congrats, you do look good. I'm confused about my body. Over the last 2 or 3 years I've thinned out quite a bit but I've only gained weight. Anyhoo, wish I could be as proud of my body as you are, rightly so, of yours.

My weight loss? IDK and I won't know until I have insurance again which will probably be a while. Sucky job + no insurance = shitty

I thought it was natural to start losing a little weight as you grow older. neutral I know when you're getting into adolescene or some time around there, you eat more, but then don't you end up losing it some time later?
