Yeah, I do see where you're coming from, and have to agree with you -- although I'm certainly guilty of the "I won't take [x], because of weight gain," too. I know what you mean, though, about feeling as though a number of people who say that do seem to convey a sense that they don't want to be as awful as I am, since I'm fat.
(Of course, I became at least twenty pounds heavier on Wednesday, after two rough sessions in a row -- individual and marriage on the same day -- so how large/small I am is not a question I can answer. At least I recognized -- if only intellectually -- that my actual weight hadn't changed in that time. Only my experience of it changed...)
(The scary part for me, though, is that I know -- again, intellectually -- that I'm underweight again. Not below 85% at this time, but underweight. And yet, I feel so bloomin' huge! I hate hate hate hate it.)
(I guess I'm just nuts, huh?)
I don't know if I'm exactly the audience you were addressing this to, but those are some of my thoughts after reading your post. I'm sorry I made it about me, though.
