I can relate to both sides of the weight debate as well. Up until I was ohhh 27? I would go on binges to gain weight only to find myself dropping pounds. My friends would sit eating bland salads and diet pop and glare as I ate burgers and milkshakes. No one could see to understand bad I felt when I'd go shopping for clothes and the only thing that fit was in the little girls department. Yea, size 0 was too big UGH! As I got older I found myself over 100 pounds finally! (I'm 5'5) Then 110....then 120....ok..good enough, this can stop any time now.....Medical problems, new medicines and I found myself packing on 20, 30, 40 pounds with no way to control it. From too skinny to OMG what happened to me in less then six months.
I've been off the medication for over 4 years now and still can't seem to lose the weight. Oh I lose a few pounds but it doesn't stay off. Weighed myself just last week and was depressed to find that I'm still over 160. I never weighed that much pregnant and still find it hard to look at myself in the mirror. After trying for a couple of years to get back to "myself" I've given up. If any doctor ever trys to come near me with anything "steroid" again I've sworn to kill them on the spot.
So yup, can certainly relate the the looks of "tsk tsk she must have an eating disorder" to being called a whale at a water park. ~sighs~
