  4. TTL there are threads on the board concerning people losing more weight than they want to, going the other way like it sounds you are your goal was 135, but you weigh 120 lbs?? you obviously need to eat more how is your tummy treating you??? are you having trouble eating enough??? do you vomit??? are you afraid to eat more, because you are afraid you will gain weight??? if the tummy is good, no other problems then............ just snack more in between meals (not going overboard of course) up your calories at meals still keep track, make sure whats going on people some times do say stuff like "oh you are skinny, you must eat" and you really look fine this has been discussed before do you feel bad??? sometimes are image of ourselves in the mirror isn't what we really look like there is a word for that - can't remember i mean we can look at our bodies and still say we look fat, yet we've just lost ie 100 lbs works both ways - you could be a perfect weight - you just see yourself too skinny cuz of what others have said sorry don't know the answer in regards to what you are thinking but repeating if you really are too small for your body frame - you must eat more talk to your doc too take care good luck kathy Thanks Kathy ok my tummy is fine i dont vomit i probably do need to eat more small meals during the day my nutritionist says i look great and i am right where i should be for my height last i spoke with her. I guess its just me taking it out on myself... words hurt sometimes! I have been so happy!! I guess part of me cares about what others are saying. Your Words help me alot so thank you so much have a great day kathy :-)
