LOL!
Being that I draw, I see women starving themselves ot be thin and go "Eeew".
My sister and I are lightweights due to a nice family inherited QUIRK.
I'll stay beanpole thin as long as I don't do 16 oz curls.
(But I'll likely start gaining a few pounds after I turn 30. That seems to be the way the family goes.)
I hate it.
When I was in the military I weighed 135 and it was HEAVEN.
After having Mono in 1997, I'm lucky to top out at 118.
(And it fluctuates wildly as well.)
I've had some people literally say that they'd kill to be 'as thin as you!' to me.
They didn't like me asking them, "I'll trade ya."

Sigh.... theoretically, I understand your pain. But all my life I've been overweight, and only in the last year have I got it to the point where I don't hate my body. I don't want to be a 90-pound bikini model. But I'd really like to be a 140-pound semi-athlete.

I've actually lost more weight by catching the flu than by dieting or exercising! :) Lost about 15 pounds once when I had the flu for a couple weeks. Prior to that I had been underweight for most of my life (I have the same family quirk you're describing), so I deliberately tried to gain weight for a while, and gained too well :) I lost most of the weight I had gained while I had the flu; but I kept it off and got back to my original weight mostly through diet and exercise.
