Thank you all who replied, I have been obsessing about this again all day today, and talked to my boss who has always been very supportive.
Before talking to her, I asked like EVERYBODY in the office if I looked like I have gained weight - they said "yes, but you look healthy now.." I hate that word.. healthy.. It's like nicer word than fat.So my boss say that yes, I have put on some pounds after being released from inpatient, but she did point out that I needed to gain the weight, and that it has been six months since my release.
She said that I am at a great weight now. She said that I should try and maintain this weight. She also said that if I am concerned about gaining more and more weight (which I am, I am terrified that I am going to continue to gain..) than I should cut out the wine as that is the only unhealthy thing that I do.
So, I came home, threw out all of my wine and am going to see if my weight goes up, goes down, or maintains. I am trying not to freak, trying not to obsess, and trying to reassure myself that my weight is okay, and that cutting out the wine will cut out calories..
Thanks for all of your responses! BTW, med empowered, you did not sound harsh at all.
Also, my issue with the BMI is that it does not take into account the fact that muscle weighs more than fat..
Anyways, thanks all!
