This post probably doesn't fit in here - but I just wanted to share my experience about when I gained weight. I'm 5'11 and was a dancer from childhood to my late teens - my bmi was probably 18? I was also a runner. When I hit my 20s, I stopped dancing but kept on running. After starting work full-time I experienced a weight creep. I moved up from 103 pounds to 114 pounds. I was still in the healthy range, but the comments started coming in. "Hey your thighs are really big" from insensitive male ex-classmates, to "wow you've really gained weight" or "you look bigger" from old friends. From family, the comments were much worse. One relative even took a photo of me in an unflattering side view, PRINTED THEM OUT and gave it to me so I would "wake up as to how fat I had become" (her words, not mine).
Now after trying out several exercise regimes and diets (it doesn't help that I have weak knees), CICO and a weights-resistance gym routine is what works for me. I've lost close to 9 pounds in a few months, and my clothes fit better. But strangely enough, no one noticed. They genuinely didn't, and it irked me. I lost weight for myself and for my health, and I'm a lot more confident in my dressing now but seriously?
