When I was younger I would go to the doctor and he would tell me to gain weight, but I didn't think I was to thin, I thought I was on the heavy size.
Weird?
Carol, standing in front of my bathroom mirror is all the photo I need.
Before my last baby, I was 118# and working to remove some flabby pockets. How I wish I was 118 again WITH the flabby pockets. I think you are exactly right - I never see myself as heavy when I AM heavy, and I am never too thin.
The phrase "No such thing as being too rich or too thin."
(altho I have seen photos of models who looked like they were malnourished.)
Ok, now I really do need to do other things!
