I had no periods, cold all the time, stomach problems, etc. My doctor at the time told me to lose more weight. I'm 5'2" and I weighed 116 at the time. I started eating more, exercising less and gained a few pounds. My periods returned, my overall health improved. It seemed strange at the time that strangers thought I could be anorexic since I was rather thin, but my doctors and family members were scale obsessed. I had the same issues when I was 16.

She's 5'9" now (she used to be 5' 11", but between not eating and having MS, she's shrunk a bit), and she eats next to nothing most of the time. I think she weighs about 140 lbs, and her doctor says that's too thin for her frame, he thinks she should weigh about 160. Her hair is thin and falls out a lot, she's sick all the time, and none of the meds the doctors have put her on for the MS are working. I think it's because she's so thin, her body has no reserves, nothing to work with to help her get into remission. But she was chunky as a kid, and all her sisters were thin and made fun of her constantly for being fat, so she's determined to be thin now. Two of her sisters are now fat, and one is still thin (but she has kidney problems and needs a transplant). One of the fat sisters had weight loss surgery so she could be thin again. All of this crap going on in my d-i-l's family is affecting her 15-year-old son, who is 5' 11" and weighs 125 lbs (and he thinks he's fat). He doesn't eat, he exercises all the time (lifting weights and bowling and running, and is on the wrestling team at school), and is constantly saying how fat he is and how he needs to lose weight. I can't convince him that he isn't fat, and that he's harming his health, and I can't convince his mother of that either. They've bought into the "thin at any cost is the only way to be healthy" and I'm afraid they're slowly killing themselves. That's one of the main reasons I blog about fat/size acceptance.

]]> Comment on Am I the only fat person I know NOT having WLS? by Pet~ http://nothingback.wordpress.com/2009/01/19/am-i-the-only-fat-person-i-know-not-having-wls/#comment-1179 Pet~ Tue, 20 Jan 2009 00:56:24 +0000 http://nothingback.wordpress.com/?p=515#comment-1179 Bri, it was a TRULY TINY amount. And it was strictly because of their surgeries. Had they truly NOT been hungry (with a non-mutilated stomach), I wouldn't have said a word or thought twice. The ONLY people I've seen eat that little in a meal were people that had WLS. Seriously, my "featherweight" 9-year-old (the one whose pediatrician is always commenting on her being slightly underweight) eats more than that, and sometimes I worry that SHE doesn't eat enough! They obviously *wanted* to eat more because of the amount of food they put on their plates originally, but they COULDN'T eat it because of their WLS. And it's not like they put huge amounts on their plates! It was, I thought, a fairly reasonable amount. Less than the men or I was eating, but reasonable. Sorry if I offend, but I stand behind my assessment. ESPECIALLY with the "Weight Watchers meeting" that happened afterwards. Bri, it was a TRULY TINY amount.
