hun - you are not overweight.

You have a BMI of 24.7 which is in the normal weight range.

Your hips are a normal part of being a woman. That's the way we are shaped. It's got nothing to do with having an abortion - I was told that I have "childbearing hips" well before I ever fell pregnant. It's bone, not fat. Nothing you can do about it.

How far gone were you when you had an abortion? If it was early on, it's unlikely that you would have put on much weight due to that. Your breasts might have gotten a little bigger, and you might have had a very very small paunch, but that's about it. And in two years you will have undoubtedly lost that.

If you've put on weight, I don't think it's because of the abortion.
And besides, like I say, you're not overweight.

Don't worry, like XenaGlamRocker says, you are not overweight. Perhaps the stress and upset about the abortion made you put on a little weight. Both the pill and contraceptive implant can also cause weight gain. So long as you keep active and healthy you should be fine.

P.S. Xena gets another gem :eek:
