I can understand what you are talking about. I use to be a size 12. When my IBS started 3 years ago I lost 45 pounds. Once I became stable I managed to gain weight and stay a lean size 6 or 8. I dealt with alot of comments and still do. My response is ususally "Well thank you. I eat just fine and am feeling healthy!" And I leave it at that. Most people know my situation so they have backed off. Sometimes I take the time to tell people that especially those who say "Man I wish I could be as skinny as you" I respond saying "I would love to be 15 pounds heavier and be able to eat whatever I want!" Mainly I just try to let it go. If you feel good and are doing what you need to then just realize that there are people who are going to say things. The sad thing is that alot of the times it is family. Hang in there. I know it's hard. Right now I am going through a hard time managing my IBS again after being stable. It is a life long battle. But places like these are great for venting your frustrations!
