The thing is... it's not about being fat or thin, it's about body image. I can make myself miserable by trying to fit into pants I fit into 10 years ago (put 'em all in a sack and donated them to charity). I can weigh myself -- and then I realize that the person I see in the mirror and the person other people must be seeing can't be the same person. And I'm skinny. So... you're gorgeous right now. Not "I will be pretty if I drop 5 pounds, 10 pounds, however many pounds" -- you're pretty right now. Because if you're insecure and drop 10 pounds, you'll be 10 pounds lighter and still feeling bad. You're fine the way you are. Really. I don’t even have a scale. The thing is… it’s not about being fat or thin, it’s about body image.
