Euphoricme - you were far heavier than Molly, so it is understandable that you feel bad about fat.. However, Molly is already 20 lbs lighter than your goal weight. Why shouldn't she feel and look attractive? It won't stop her trying to lose more weight, but will give her confidence and more success in social and work situations. People cannot let a few extra pounds affect their self-image, as it will have a detrimental effect on their whole life.

I think if you want to debate this issue further, then you could join in the current discussion on the issue in the forum:
