I know you've already received a heap of replies about this but I wanted to add another voice and say you're definitely not alone. If nothing changes soon, I will hit 400lbs this year. (I am PRAYING for something to change with a new endo!!!) I have those same thoughts - I always see women on this board and at support meetings who weigh around 150 or so and think that they are shockingly overweight. I always want to say, but you look NORMAL. People don't stare at you going down the street! You can blend in! You can buy clothes! I don't want to diminish anyone's struggle of course, and I know it's hard for all of us - I just wanted to let you know that I find myself thinking the very same thing. If it's worth anything to you, I'd kill to weigh 213. My goal weight is 220, and I look damn good at that weight. I'd say you probably look better at 213 than you realize :) Don't believe that you have to be skinny to be sexy! Take care.
