I know that I have always had a difficult time with the weight issue. I was always so skinny and petite growing up that when I finally put on weight in high school....I went from 75 lbs in the summer of 9th grade to 90 lbs and I thought I was the fattest thing walking around! Sometimes when people are small for so long they don't know how to react once they actually put a little weight on. I know it took me a long time to adjust to the idea....and no I was not just fishing for compliments....I really did have a self-image issue.
Also, when you are really small boned....a little extra weight seems more exagerated...especially without your clothes on. With clothes it seems a little less obvious, so maybe what they are seeing and what someone else is seeing is totally different.
Of course, I haven't been 90 lbs. since the day I got pregnant with MG!
I hope I don't annoy anyone....just giving the other view point!

BTW~ I never judge anyone by their looks....big or small...race, etc. The only important thing is what is in someone's heart! That is what truly counts.
