I have a similar problem in other communities regarding weight issues.
I have a genuine difficulty with keeping weight *on*, and it would be nice to have some support now and then.
From the skinny-end, my pesepctive on weight and body image is a little different from a lot of people on weight loss forums (obviously) but sometimes it is useful and helpful to others to share that.
I don't judge my weight issues by appearance or by how anyone else sees me or by a chart or anything else. I judge my weight by how I feel. And sometimes I try to get that concept across to other people... sometimes it's well received and sometimes not ;->
But I don't think a message of self-acceptance is ever misplaced even if the "self" involved is a bit outside the usual parameters of the group at hand.
Life hands us enough cnallenges. Fighting my body's natural tendencies if I don't *have* to just seems like picking a losing battle ;->
