Reply from Kim, Age 27 - 07/26/01 Hi Sally, You did not mention how tall you were? That plays a big part. Unless you are 4'0 inches you are not fat. I hope you do not spend a lot of time looking at those crazy magazines with the starved models. If so try to stop until you can get over this phase! For now try drinking lots of water & cut back on salt, (it retains water which adds to extra wieght) You will spend more time in the bathroom, (smile) but it will help keep unnessary water weight off. Also, work out with "low" lb weights like 2-5 lbs with a little muscle mass helps your metablism speed up. And most of all, love who you are & what you look like. Try volunteering at a charity or organization that helps those that are less forutnate, you will soon realize you have a lot to be thankful for!!! Take Care. Kim
