Lavender!
Hurray that you've reach self-acceptance of your body and body-image (not necessarily the same thing). We are always so hard on ourselves for not looking like pencil-thin models. I don't look at other people that way, expecting perfection. Why am I paranoid that people are expecting perfection from me? You're making great progress!!!!

> I had the same issue, lost over 20 lbs., was obsessed with my weight and self image. I loved losing weight, loved it, it made me feel so powerful, but eventually the meds really started to work and the feeling decreased over time, I put most of the weight back on over the next couple of months and oddly enough, it hasn't bothered me that much, I've been pretty happy (until recently, but that's another story)
