One fo the things that makes me want to screm is when I put on weight and I know I'm fat (far too fat) and I won't eat something and someone wants to know why and I say I'm fat, and I'm trying to lose the weight.

"But Tessa, you're not fat." It's supposed to make me feel better. I don't feel bad about it. My emotions aren't involved. I just want to lose the weight for health purposes.

A lot of 'encouragement' doesn't help. It's misplaced.
