I'm sorry that that you want to fight with me when I was trying to help.

I'm sorry I'm being defensive. My weight loss has nothing to do with being fat or skinny. I've gone from being 110 pounds to 206 pounds (now 184) so I've heard all the comments of what it's like to be "too skinny" and "obese":
"Oh, I can wrap my arms around you twice!"
"What are you drinking a protein shake for? You don't need it!"
"You need to eat more."
"You look like a twig."
"Aren't you hungry?"
"You're too skinny for a one-piece, wear a bikini and show off your body!"
And
"You need to eat less."
"Don't eat that, it's fattening."
"You don't look *that* fat"
"You look pregnant."
"If you were skinnier, that'd look good on you."
"That's not a flattering outfit for your figure."
"Wear a one-piece, you need to cover up."
"Just because you *can* wear something doesn't mean you should."
"Your big ghetto booty is the best change you've had since high school." (that hurt the most)
I am teetering on obesity, and I am aware of the health issues that can come by not managing my weight including worsening of my bipolar disorder. My diet is very healthy and I also eat healthy on my off-days (I found that I am fuller faster and eating less), and I am going to exercise at least 4 days a week. My goal is to a reach a normal size weight. Again, it's not about being fat or skinny, it's about looking and feeling healthy.
