I’ve lost over 280 lbs. and while that might not seem like a problem, it seems to have turned my weight into a never-ending discussion. “You are too skinny! You need to eat more!” Quite the change from no one commenting on my food intake when I weighed 405 lbs. Now that I am healthy, I’m tired of people telling me I’m too skinny. This is my last discussion on the issue. I am small. I am petite. I am not skinny. Hope this helps!
