i know, and am usually entirely confident in the knowledge that i'm NOT underweight...not even close...i'm maybe five foot one if i stand up really straight, and around 118 pounds...i'm certainly not huge, but i've still got some squish on me...
this is also the least i've ever weighed in my adult life, and i'm suddenly finding out that some of my 'friends' liked me better when i was heavier than them (once upon a time i was over 200 pounds)...
i don't know if it happens to anyone else, but how do you cope with being told that you're way too thin if you know that you're not? the rational part of me knows that it's either thinly veiled cattiness, or a genuine attempt to convince me to stop working so hard on my appearance, but some little corner of my mind is telling me that maybe they're right...maybe i've lost sight of what i really look like...
i'm not losing weight super fast (i'm talking 25 pounds in 2 years slow) and i'm not really restricting what i eat either...i've certainly cut down on a lot of the crap, but i eat more than most of the people telling me that i need a cheeseburger...i'm also way more active than most of them - i don't have a car, and i hate transit, so i don't really blink at a 45 minute walk each way to do some shopping or go for dinner...i live on the 16th floor, and i'm weird about elevators, so i often take the stairs...
i don't even know what i'm trying to ask...i'm just having a rant i guess...
