i went through a bad patch with my family. They where upset that I was ( 5'4") and 114lbs amd thought I had an eating disorder. They kept telling me I should be 125 lbs. The bad part was with my husband. Although he eventually accepted it, it bothered him for a long time. It was for him I went on the Atkins diet to begin with! He went on it also and went from 210 lbs to 178bls. The gym helped a lot and kept my curves even after being skinny.
