No, you don't. Really.
People get mad when someone calls them fat or blubbery or says 'put down that hamburger'.
When a girl is too skinny she gets skinny bitch, anorexic and 'go eat a hamburger' nobody says a word. It's okay to do that, isn't it?!
Weight gain and weight loss are the same problem, wrapped differently.
They both hurt and they are both equally important.

Oh, not to say being underweight isn't a problem...
But losing weight means restricting yourself and maintaining weight doesn't. The OP says she started eating more partly because she wasn't smoking.

Maintaining weight doesn't mean restricting yourself... but you have to constantly remember what to eat, when to eat, if you ate...if you're going over...if you're going under...
I like myself at 120.5... Not 120, not 121. I do NOT know why... probably stems from my anorexia. Can't weigh 121 or I'm fat, can't weigh 120 or I'm too skinny and the doctors will get mad!
It is SO VERY HARD to maintain a healthy weight when you're not used to eating. You forget. You start thinking you might be fat and become underweight again. You're MUCH more critical of yourself. You can look in the mirror overweight and see that you're losing if you're keeping to a strict diet. On maintaining weight, you have NO IDEA what's keeping it there or what's losing it.
They are both equally difficult.

Do what I do.... go to costco or Bj's, and pick up a pack of Ensure PLUS. It is specially formulated to "maintain, or help gain" I have gained 7 pounds soo far, and I am looking more womanly and curvaceous every week!
