Stumped...

About a year ago, I was talked with a sister in my ward. As we talked about many subjects, she made one comment has stayed with me all this time. She told me that I was not thin. So I thought if I am not thin then I must be.....chunky....overweight...fat? I told my husband about the comment and of course he says that I am fine and that is how eating disorders start. But...is he just saying that or am I really, well you know. I graduated from high school at 110 pounds and that's what I weight today. I thought that I looked OK, but maybe I am blinded by my own sense of reality. So who do I ask? A stranger on the street? Would they tell me the truth or would they, who don't know me, not want to hurt my feelings and shade the truth? Then their is the question of how much weight do I need to loose 10 pounds...7.8 pounds....20? I don't know. Why do I worry about what someone else says, but then why did she say it?

Jen - you are one of the last people on earth I would ever describe as fat (not just to your face - to ANYONE!) You may have curves - but they are the right curves in the right places - they are part of why you are beautiful - not fat.

Jennifer, Jennifer! Be confident with who you are- we will always come across people who (hopefully accidently) say things that could be hurtful or misunderstood.
For the record- you are not fat or chunky. You are beautiful-- tell yourself that!
