[quote=Anonymous]I'm about the same size as you (8-10, about 5'5). If you are healthy, like really take good care of your health, and feel good about yourself then don't worry about it. The number on the scale is really not that big of a deal. A lot of people are harder on themselves than they are on others and many people do have poor self-image. Also, many women the same size or weight as you may not actually eat healthy or exercise and assume that if they did they would lose weight, whether or not that is true. I will add though, that I think a fair amount of this feeling is context based. I'm pretty average for a mom my age in the circles I spend time in. When I travelled in SE Asia at this size I felt HUGE and did not like the attention my size drew (like random people on the street calling me fat). If I was always the largest woman in the room by 25 lbs. I think I would feel differently.[/quote]
