Its been awhile!
Hi guys just thought I would drop in and say hi, it has been a long time. All is well I have gained about 15lbs and heard nothing but good about it!?! I have heard from several of my moms friends that they thought I was terribly sick and so glad I look so much better. I still feel "fat", that is just the way it is! Happy memorial day to all especially to those who are and have served our country! yall take care !

Meggie.....So glad to see you've come back even just to say Hi. We love you girl and you were too thin and sick looking. I know I am told all the time that I look fine but I feel so FAT too. I know most of that is our "lying eyes". I take my clothes out of the dryer and they look small still so that tells me it is my eyes. LOL Love you and please come back more often.

Hey Meg,
It was nice to see your post. I am also 5'8" and I got down to about 150-155 and I looked sickly all the timeand I felt weak and yuky. I finally talked to my GP and he agreed that I was to thin for my height and frame. It took almost a year but I gained back 15 lbs and now I run between 160 and 170 and feel and look much better but like you I worry I still look fat. I did have an experience that made me realize I am a normal size. Was dancing a swing dance with a friend and he scooped me up and flipped me in the air and caught me. After I freaked out I realized if I was fat and too heavy no way he'd have tried that. *lol* side note told him if he ever did it again I'd strangle him.
Hope you have a great weekend!!!

I hope you are feeling better these days. You did need the 15 pounds.
