At my former race weight I looked very sick (based on my frame like a Rasmussen). At 180 last year everyone thought I was sick as well as my upper body disappears but my legs stay. Most people don't realize how big I am until you see me in a fitted or tighter shirt so by 'normal' standards the people I work with think I look healthy at 230ish. It's all relative.
