I'm glad you posted, too. What you wrote about always seeing a fat woman hit home for me, since that's about the size of it for me, too. Of course, the medication induced weight gain I've gone through has really made that much, much worse. Because I have been fat, and because I got so much criticism for it from so many places, I have a really hard time with the concept of gaining weight without getting fat.
And a girlfriend of mine, who knew that I had been anorexic, and knew that I worried about my weight going below a certain point because of fear that it would start again -- which it has, many times -- once told me, "I know you're worried about the weight you've lost, but I think you look better at this weight than I've ever seen you look." Thanks. Just what I need: I'm sinking into depression again, losing weight, starting to restrict again, you KNOW about all this, and you still reinforce it. Great friendship.
Sure, she was trying to lose weight herself, and was rather shallow, but still...
Congrats on Thanksgiving, too.
