EXACTLY!!!!! Everybody had some snide comment to say when I was at my heaviest. But now, I must have HIV (or some other random arse sickness), be smokin' crack, or have an eating disorder. It's crazy. Right now, I'd be happy with 153. That gives me leeway (sp?) to gain 10lbs and still be at a healthy BMI, albeit barely. I understand that most people do this for aesthetic purposes, but if I'm doing it for my health, I need to keep losing. WHY would you encourage someone to NOT try and be as healthy as they can be? It's like people would rather you LOOK good than FEEL good. Whatever, I'm on the train WITH you!!!
