“Don’t get too skinny”

I’m now down almost 55 lbs (started at 215, hit 162 this morning).

I’m still in the “obese” zone for my height 5’4”. I have 20ish lbs more to go before I reach my goal of 140; to be honest, I think I’d like to even go below 140.

However, I’m now dealing with people telling me not to get “too skinny.” These are all skinny people who tell me this. My hairdresser of 13+ years, whom I adore, probably weighs 100lbs soaking wet—she’s a tiny Vietnamese woman. Adorable person. She hasn’t seen me in 6 months and she freaked out over it yesterday. She told me like six times before I left that I shouldn’t lose anymore weight and get “too skinny.” Another really tiny lady at my work told me this the other day, “don’t lose anymore weight! You’ll be too skinny!” She’s also like a size 0.

What is up with this??? How is everyone else handling this? It’s always women, too. Ugh. 😩
