(I'm really going to try hard and stick to a workout for the next 3 months!) Luckily, my friends and boyfriend are fairly supportive and I'm not seen as less desirable because of the weight.
However, if it ever became an obsessive thought for me, again, I would see a therapist. I would see one that specialized in it because I'd want someone experienced in treating it to see me.

i'm in the process of getting a *new* therapist. i haven't had one in a while cause of insurance issues. i'm actually the smallest of my friends although i don't feel like i'm the skinniest. i was never COMPLETELY happy with my weight, but this is literally the biggest i've ever been. i'm still not *technically* overweight, but i feel like i am. my friends also tell me not to look at the scale cause they say it's probably mostly muscle, but i disagree..
