Hi folks,

I'm feeling confused and discouraged. Whereas people used to look

at me in scorn and disgust when I weighed 333 pounds, I'm still

getting negative comments at 128 pounds. The difference is that I

am now being told I look " gaunt " or " anorexic " . Even my plastic

surgeon told me he thought I should gain 10 pounds to fill out my

face and upper body a bit. These are all people who are close to me

(family and friends) making these comments. I am 5'5 " and do not

think 128 pounds is unreasonable. Am I in the same kind of denial

about my weight as I was when I was heavy? I'm so tired of other

people making me feel bad about my body. Does it ever end??

No...you are not too thin, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Your BMI

is still in the normal range. Most of us who lose all our weight go through

the " gaunt " or " refugee " period..where our weight needs to redistribute. I

got down to 126 at 5'6 " , and I really liked myself. My BMI was 20.3...still

very normal. You aren't in any denial. You don't die from being too thin, only

from malnutrition. Don't TRY to gain any weight. Believe me...I haven't

tried and have put on a few now. I have to accept it..as it is what they call

bounce back...and my hubby is happy....I have a butt again....and all's well

with

the world...I guess. Still, really wanting to feel a bit boney. Yeah...it

ends when you put a stop to it. Like says...you can't bring your loss

in on a dime...but sometimes go past your goal weight...but eventually, you

do readjust....so don't worry about the refugee look...it goes all too

soon...IMNSHO!

Are your labs good, do you get enough protein, are you feeling good and

energetic, do you have a lot of colds. It is not the scale or size or comments

from others. It is your health.
