My friend, you are so right it hurts. It took me a long time to notice this because for a long time I was as delusional as many fat people are, I thought as we are I believe "trained" to think, that we are fat because we eat too much and move too little. I really believed it. No matter how much I was exercising (and during college that was quite a lot actually, way more than any of my friends) and how "healthy" or little I ate. After a long time I started noticing that my thin friends got at little or even less exercise than my fat friends. I started noticing that some of my thinnest friends had the biggest appetites or ate the most junk food. I had one thin friend that for that one week a month practically lived on chocolate. I of course, deprived myself routinely.
I still have problems overcoming this. When I go to a restaurant for example, especially any fast food place, I wonder if people are looking at me and thinking "well gee, no wonder she's such a porker, look at what she's stuffing in her face". But of course no one questions thin people if they have a burger instead of salad or an ice cream cone for dessert.
I think you sound like you are in great shape to me. I could probably do one set of curls at that weight but not 3.
