I don't think anyone wants to pack on 50 lbs or more and then suddenly come to realize hey, I'm fat. I think we all would rather address the issue before it started happening sooner rather than later on.

I was sick for 2 days in the hospital and have been 155 pounds no matter how much or how little I eat, and have been this set weight naturally for the past 15 years but I had dropped to 139 and didn't even know it until I was weighed there. That was in August and I'm now back to 151 about where I always was. My doctor had checked for thyroid and other issues and all that was fine. I guess stress or an illness can cause us to lose weight.

I know he means well...but I just wish he said it nicer and didnt talk about it for an hour =\ Like i called him to say hi and see what he wanted for christmas and then it turned into an hour long conversation about my weight...

I'm certainly not "fat" looking...like my "fat' distributes evenly though my body so when i weigh higher i still look thinner...I want to loose at least 35 or 40 pounds...yes that sounds like a lot because I dont look that big...but my weight is bigger then I look lol
