Mom worried I'm getting "anorexic" !
Yeah shopping! 
>I think it is because people are use to seeing us so large that it seems weird to them. Or maybe most American are overweight so people have forgotten what a normal weight really looks like. I think most people are 20 to 25 pounds over weight---and people are starting to view this as "normal". So when we get closer to being a normal weight I guess we seem "abnormal". How strange is this?
I think you are exactly right. As for my own "reality check" -- I can't really "see" that I need to lose more weight until I see a photo of myself. I "feel" really skinny and see skinny in the mirror, but photos are an objective measure for me.
