Please don't let that stop you from taking care of yourself.
Good luck getting your eating where you want it and feeling good about yourself again. We'll all be pulling for you.

Thanks so much, mel! I hope you're right that I won't get too big --maybe I should grow my hair long so I feel more dainty.
My husband worked out with me at the gym today and I asked him: "c'mon, seriously--am I too big looking?" and he just rolled his eyes (in a nice, not mean, way) and said: "you should do what makes you feel good!" which is just what I wanted to hear....because lifting makes me feel good because while I might not be dainty I AM strong. (or strongish, anyway--reading some of these logs reveals some amazing and impressive strength!) It's funny you mentioned the story about the massage therapist because I had that happen to me once, too.
