Glad you're feeling better too! Something to think about:
Imagine you go to the mirror and when you look into it you see a skeleton draped with saggy skin? Imagine people telling you that you can wear anything you want because you are so skinny - and knowing that you can't because tight pants make you look like a chicken and belly tops show that extra skin that won't go away no matter what you do? Imagine people asking you if you are sick, telling you you should eat more, hugging you and not wanting to again because you seem so fragile and they can feel your bones? Imagine the horror everytime you get sick and start to drop a few more pounds?
I've been on both sides of this fence, and believe me I would rather be back up to 175 on my 5 foot frame than where I am now. I still have the skin and the stretchmarks and they will never go away. But - I learned that no matter where I am at physically, if I find the good inside myself others see it too and I feel perfectly fine with who I am even though I am imperfect, I haven't met anyone yet who is!
