Nikki: thank you for posting that link.
Halanna: Sounds like you have a healthy body view. Comparison isn't what I was going for with this thread, rather self-analysis. Still, you provide sound counsel.
amtec: Thank you for your honesty. Family pressures are the worst kind. They just don't seem to understand the damage. I hope that you've been upfront with your physicians about the weight gain side effects of your drugs. My best friend is epileptic and the meds she's on encourage weight gain as well. She has been going to weight watchers for years on and off, always struggling with her weight and body image. It makes me sad to see what she deals with - the out-of-control aspect. I imagine you face something similar. I think it's healthy to have an ideal weight. It's something to work toward, and something to be excited about when you get there.
