CAN I BE TOO THIN????

Bette, you are so right, but I can fit in Jr's size 9 and they always have them.. Have Mercy!!!!!!!! BlkNectar

My family has said this to me and I am 197 lbs! Sometimes I think it is people's way of complimenting you but I have also noticed that this concern about my getting too thin seems to come from the heavier members of the family. It is possible that my losing weight is making them feel uncomfortable about their weight. But at the end of the day, thats all their issue. If you are happy with yourself and your health is not in danger, the heck with everyone else.

I agree, I feel great, even though I know that I am not eating enough. Hey where are you in New Haven? Where are you in the process and are you ready for surgery? I will e-mail you from home "sistah" , I can share some info with you regarding PS and skin pigment that I learned. BlkNectar

Most of those comments are going to come from people who just don't understand what a normal body weight is on you. They see the rapid weightloss and get concerned. What I took to telling anybody who would dare comment was: Thanks for your concern- I'm working closely with my doctor and I'm just fine. Really- imagine though- it would NOT be acceptable for someone to say- hey- um, you're looking kinda bloated, better stop gaining weight now! So- why is it OK for someone to say you're too skinny??? I always found it insulting, personally. Wether or not you're too skinny? Well, it may be time for you to weigh and check your BMI. If your BMI says you're fine- and your feeling well and your blood tests are fine- then YOU ARE FINE! What was your weight and blood like at your one year checkup w/Dr. A? that should have given you some diea about where you were at. Regarding Diabetes, yes, I believe diabetes can effect you again. Not all diabetes is weight related. o, if you have a concern- go see your PCP right away! Best of luck to you! Lisa C

Thanks Lisa, I am due well overdue for bloodwork, but I feel great and I look fabulous IN clothes, its just when I take them off.
