[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP - Thanks for your opinions everyone.  My whole life I have been considered thin and I'm the sort of person most women hate because I don't watch what I eat and don't exercise (except yoga once every week or two).  I have a small frame (not big-boned) and am NOT curvy at all (wish I was!).  Over the past 5 years, I've very gradually put on about 10 lbs.  Prior to that I hadn't gained weight since my teen years - even after two kids I lost all my baby weight right away.  I have been feeling insecure and fishing for compliments lately.  I work full time and have been struggling with motivating myself to fit exercise in my routine and trying to eat better.  I can see how some people end up with eating disorders - it's difficult to determine how others see you. [/quote]

So funny to read this because I have been feeling the same way.  I am the weight I was before my DS was born 2.5 years ago (118, and I'm 5' 4"), which is slightly heavier than I was in the five years leading up to getting pregnant.  I don't exercise or watch what I eat, but lately I've been feeling like my weight doesn't look the same on me as it has, that my clothes are tight, etc.  I've been trying to hard to motivate myself to exercise and to eat better, but it's just not working!  So good luck- I know where you're coming from!  Byt 5'8" and 140 sounds thin to me.   (and if you don't think so, just watch a little Biggest Loser-- I always tell myself that no matter WHAT I do to destroy my eating habits, 6 mos at "the Ranch" would surely fix me.)[/quote]
