Thanks ladies. Believe me, the flab is there - obviously I'm a master of disguise if none of you can see it! More importantly, clothes that pinch, roll, gather, bunch or cling just don't need to be in my life no matter what weight I'm at.
Alicat, I'm sorry about your mom. I too was at my skinniest at the worst point in my life, in a severe depression many years ago. I just stopped eating which I tend to do when stressed. The side effects were awful - I got an infection in my ankle, I was tired and crabby and my skin looked ashy. Yes, I could stand to shape up a bit today, but I'd never go back to that state of being - nothing is worth it!
