I consider myself to be hefty. Last week I went to buy a packet of cigarettes and the women looked at me strange and said "is she pregnant" and I looked down at my belly and yes it hangs down like I was.. that made me feel fat... but I never WAS fat only in the last 5yrs I have gained so much. I was a smaller before I started to gain weight(the doctor put me on medication for bulimia) which made me gain so much. Now I'm on a strict diet and want to loose some weight
