24. LOL!
Oh, my dear, I just had to laugh. I was well into my 30's before I hit 100 pounds and it was amazing the conversations with other women I was forced into having. My favorite: "You're so thin, how much do you weigh, anyway?" Now, what would EVER make them think this was an OK question to ask?

'Course I'm 50 now and I no longer have this problem. But that's cool too. Interesting now seeing all this from the other side.

HOWEVER, "and I don't appreciate being ridiculed because I HAVEN'T let myself go" connotes a prejudice and makes erroneous assumptions as well. Talk to me when you're 50 and let me know how things are goin' with ya -- specifically if anything's sagging yet despite all your efforts.
