I was told I looked gaunt even years after my weight loss, and they were right. My goal weight is now 15 pounds heavier (120 rather than 105 pounds) because of the comments I received almost on the daily by my family and friends. My husband telling me I was too thin was the final straw that lead to my weight gain. Some…

BMI is crap. When I was at a BMI of 19-20, everyone said I looked too skinny. I was at 16% body fat. Now I have naturally settled at a BMI of 22-23 (20% body fat) and I have more energy and I’m happier.

There is a theory called the set point range, and your body will naturally try to defend that range.

Thanks everyone for your thoughtful replies. I really appreciate it. We both have small frames, but she's pear-shaped, and I'm an inverted triangle so I think I look bigger than she does. I have a thinner face, whereas my sister's is round. 110 isn't bony to me either, and fit into some 0s because of my smaller hips, but…

Well she's right that my face looks better at five pounds heavier. But I'm short, and the weight goes to my upper body, especially my stomach. I'd rather have a more attractive body than a prettier face, tbh.

I do too. But I can't remove my mother from my life. Despite her criticism, I still love her and want a relationship with her.
