Welcome to Gaia! ::

My heaviest weight was around 160lbs. My lowest after that point was 125. I'm now 130. How much of my weight gain is muscle I'm not sure. I'm 5'7 and I've seen a therapist (about relationship issues) and she seemed to think I was fine, I told her about my extra weight loss after the break up and appetite changes and she seemed confident I didn't have any kind of eating disorder. My doctors all say I'm the perfect weight for my height. Although I'd like to bring it back down to 125. Maybe not necessarily that exact number on the scale, but I would like to tone a bit. I'm still self-conscious in a bikini.
Anyways, my brother says to me today my friend called asking what dress size I was. And he tells me he told her a 2 or a 4, and I thought he was joking. I'm like wwhhaatt. And he looks at me and says. You're skin and bones.

It's really aggravating. Why can't they be happy and supportive that I eat healthy and PLENTY. I like whole wheat instead of white bread and pasta. I rarely eat deep fried food. And they treat me like an anorexic. Always trying to tempt me to eat fried fast foods. Like the other day, my mother and I were suppose to have egg salad sandwiches for lunch. And I wasn't saying anything about them being on white bread. When my mother decides it'll be faster if we stop at Labelle Province (Quebec fast food, think worse than mcdonalds) and she tells me I better not order a chicken pita cause it takes forever and were in a rush, so I let her order me 2 hot dogs and a large frie. Then suddenly, "oh were late anyways, might as well eat here stressed ) Then the next day they tell me they're bringing home KFC, I say no thanks Ill make myself something. So they bring me home mcdonnalds. And just stick it in front of me. And get upset when I dont eat the fries.

YOU THINK ITS EASY to have that kind of self control. Why can't they be supportive, instead of always trying to jeapordize me!

that's what i had to do. My mother was the kind of person who wanted to keep me and my dad fat, so she wouldn't be beatin or something like that. who knows.

aww. i'm sorry. i know how hat goes. my mom was anorexic when she was my age and she kows ow i hat my weight and every tim e i say im on a diet she's like "you better be eating! not eating is only worse...blah blah blah" really its because they care for you so much. maybe try and talk to them. tell them how you feel. tell them that your not anorexic and that your just trying to live a healthier life style. my friends parents also thought she was anorexic and they put her in therapy. she hated it to begin with and then it just got worse. what got her out of it was when she came in eating a big mac and then threw up all over her therapist on purpose. -sighs- sometimes being blunt is the only way to get your point across. good luck! <333

What's with that? It's totally acceptable to tease someone about being thin and even eating healthy but OMG don't call someone fat that's soo mean! I'm sorry but personaly I think we need to stop sugar coating obesity and unhealthy weights. Of course it's ur own lifestyle choice but don't make excuses or say ur just curvy if ur obviously obese. (I apologize for the rant, I have momy issues.)

What a rot! I get similar things from my co-worker. I'm 122-123 and I was told that a healthy weight for me was 108 - 116. My goal weight is 115.

I was telling my co-worker how I was still loosing weight and she told me that I'm going to far and that my face is going to look too thin. .___.

I'm not you, if YOU wind up looking sickly after loosing a few pounds and your tummy is still big, don't take it out me.


I feel for you honey, but having those foods once in a while won't kill you either. Everything in moderation. Be strong, don't lose your self-control, but enjoy yourself too. biggrin
