I was not skinny enough even though i was 5'9" weighed 145lbs. Everyone told me that i did not have a big stomach that it was fine. But still i complained . But i had to have surgery and now i wish that i could have that stomach back because at least then i was able to wear what i wanted to and do what i wanted to . When i had surgery i am not able to wear a bikini to swim in, blue jeans that are not to big, or even look to sexy anymore. I learned a lesson that be happy with what you look like because you never know when you are going to lose it and wish that you could look like that again. HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM TRYING TO SAY!!!! :D
Too bad that you made this profound discovery after the fact.

Too bad the mystery is still elusive. :( Be happy with who you are, period.



Find the good that always exists alongside the bad. You could be dead, you could be dying...but you are healing up, recovering, and able to finish raising your daughter. If that's not good, I don't know what is.



Ok, so you can't wear a bikini. At this point, I wouldn't say that's the worst thing that could've happened.



It's all about perspective...is the glass half full or half empty? And the cool thing is that we can always change our perspective. :)
