Its good that she doesn't see you getting any heavier

Don't know how to say this without offending... 187 doesn't sound like you are very overweight - I guess it depends on how tall you are...

I don't mean to be rude or discouraging, I just got the impression from all your posts on weight that you were larger - my bad, sorry

Are you being realistic to say you need to loose 40 lb or do you think that your self image is still a bit messed up (you said you had a ED when you were younger)

Hope you can prove the doctor wrong and get to a healthy weight that you are happy with
