You know what really bothers me?

That the idea that "thin" is healthy.  I get so sick of people telling me "you look great!  You've lost weight!  You look so much healthier!"  You know what?  When I was 50 pounds heavier than I am today, I was healthier.  I have only lost this weight BECAUSE of being sick.  Just because I have lost weight due to being ill does not mean I am healthy.  I am not losing weight in a healthy way.  If I were, my hair wouldn't be falling out, my skin would not resemble a reptile, I would be able to eat without having to be near a bathroom because of having to go so soon after eating.  Yes, I'm losing weight.  Yes, my figure looks better.  But, no.  I am not healthier. Thin does not equal good health.
