Hi, i can understand your frustration. You can have a healthy diet to maintain your body weight but what i want to tell you is that....even if you gain weight people will find something else to pick on you...you are not the opinion of people. You are amazing the way you are...there are so many people trying to lose weight.
Too much weight can be a problem but staying naturally slim is a boon.
Kind regards.
