weight prob or self esteem??

i really dont post on this board but now i have fh telling me to lose some weight

but my issue is this and i dunno if anyone else feels the same


i think i have either become too complacent with my weight since college (i gained about 25 pounds went from 10 to a 14) or I just have a really good self image cause i never feel fat or huge...sometime when im next to a skinny girl but not that often

so my own positive image is railroading my weight loss

what do i do?

I think the best answer is to ask your doctor if you are healthy at your current weight. And if you are, then you should absolutely stay the way you are. The only reason I would say to lose weight in this situation is if your doctor thinks it is a health risk. But chances are it is not and that being the case, I am happy to hear you have such a great self image.

I think you need to tell FH that you are happy the way you are. If you were unhealthily overweight, I could understand him being concerned about your weight, but I should hope that he would see past that. And I am sure he does, maybe he just needs a little kick in the seat!
