I'm sure your size is fine and you look great. However, I know exactly how you feel because I've never been more than a size 6 (until now!!) but that didn't mean I felt good when I gained weight. (I try to stay at a 4).

So I guess the real question is: have you gained weight because of poor eating and no exercise?? Or did you previously LOSE weight because you made yourself go above and beyond? I think if you can find a place where you eat healthy and exercise moderately, whatever size that is is great. Does this make sense? You shouldn't have to totally obsess in order to be the "right" size, because if you do---the size isn't right!! And if you are eating healthy and exercising, then you probably will feel better even if your size doesn't change.
And truth be told, wearing the right size of clothes does make a person look better. Who cares what the number is, it's how the clothes fit. I see skinny girls every day downtown wearing too small clothes and they look horrible. Then I see regular sized women wearing stylish and well fitting clothes and think they look great.
