It is really sad when you can't get some light reading out of a magazine, even one that should have been safe....society is craming things in front of our eyes every way we turn....

I too have the problem of being underweight, & have, for a joke, taken some of the tests that are offered regarding diets....just to see what they come back with....jollies....at least they didn't say I needed to diet.....& actually came back saying that you are underweight, sorry we can't help you....I was actually surprised that they were honest enough to say that I was underweight & not continue to promote their diet.

I have also noticed your observation that there is very little out there talking about how mental issues really effect the physical....When I realized that the trauma I went through was actually the driving force in the extreme weight loss, I started searching the web & have now found out much information about actual deseases causing weight issues & also mental causing weight issues...everything is so interrelated & complicated...it is a wonder that we ever get through it all.

At least here we can give each other support on subjects that the professionals seem to lack the understanding of at times.
