The reason I ask this is because I used to be anorexic & I want to make sure that I am the not too heavy & not too thin.
The reason I say used to be anorexic is because I do not see myself as overweight any more. At 144 pounds I look & feel thinner (and healthier) than I ever have.
Age 21
Height 5'6
Weight 144 pounds
US Size 8 pants (I like my pants a little lose so that they are comfortable)
If I need to I can link my my-space page which has a photo of me?
I also have a question about anorexia.
If at one time I thought I was overweight, is it possible that I could think I am thin when I am not?
Thank you for your time & God bless

I don't think I look 20 pounds over weight
but that is just my opinion , would you guys mind checking out my myspace?
I am really a very poor judge of weight.

It sounds like you are a good weight and alot of people who are anorexic are obsessive compulsive so I guess it would be possible for you to think you are too skinny.
Just remember although ou hear it all the time it is important for you to listen to what those who care for you say because sometimes all someone needs is a little encouragement but you must be willing to listen.

You are not fat. You are a normal weight and look great! You may not be as skinny as a toothpick but you are not chubby. I am sooo glad that you got over your sickness and have gained some weight! Some girls keep going on thinking that they are fat until they are almost dead.

You look great. Maybe you also need a little therapy to help you heal and realize that you are fantastic.
