"A Problem Page For All!"

It puzzled me, too, Ellie! I didn't know he thought he could just say that and not know that I would freak out and feel rotten. He says that he was making a logical observation and he didn't expect me to get emotionally involved. I asked how much fatter he thought I'm getting, and he said about 1/4 inch. So, it's not like he thinks I'm rapidly expanding! But that just made me never, ever want to eat anything more than one lettuce leaf or 5 curds of cottage cheese ever again, you know?!

In fact, I didn't eat anything for a couple hours that day...then I finally ate a bunch of healthy yams.

I was brought back down to earth today when I was hanging out with my friend Grant, and we were looking at a Victoria's Secret catalog (ugh) together. He said that all the models are too skinny for his taste and that he likes girls to have some meat on their bones. That makes me ecstatic!

You have no idea how very better I feel with your support!!! Nathan apologized profusely and realized that he can't make blunt, thoughtless comments like that.

He says that he would't be happy if I was boney and leggy; he likes me soft and squishy I guess. Hehe!

I know I'm not getting bigger is the thing. My confidence in that fact overrules the sting of his comment. I'm still 131 pounds, still have a 17% body fat rating, eat better than before, and exercise more than before. Ack, I'm bragging! Sorry...

Actually, my weight is normal, I guess, so it's not like I'm showing anything off!

I love the point you made, about if he would rather hug an 80 pound, emaciated girl or me! Wow! So true!

And, also that I'm not pressuring to hunk up for me at the gym, that's another excellent point!

Thanks ever so, Ellie m'luv! Oh, and I hope you got my chatty e-card!
