Well to start off Im a SINGLE at 24 years old. When I was a child I was always a little bit overweight. Probably five to ten pounds. Everyone else was normal or skinny so I was the one picked on. *SIGH* I tried not to pay attention to it...but the pain lingeered on inside me. I will NEVER forget in 6th and 7th grade when the boys used to call me "Free Willy" (the orca whale)I can remember crying

Well to start off Im a SINGLE at 24 years old. When I was a child I was always a little bit overweight. Probably five to ten pounds. Everyone else was normal or skinny so I was the one picked on. *SIGH* I tried not to pay attention to it...but the pain lingeered on inside me. I will NEVER forget in 6th and 7th grade when the boys used to call me "Free Willy" (the orca whale)I can remember crying myself to sleep every night. All of the extra weight was in my stomach area so it was a little more pronounced.When I look back at pictures, I see a healthy girl, maybe a lil more chubby than her friends, but not as fat as I always felt I was. The constant pressure to lose weight from my family and all the teasing from peers finally gave way to me just plain starving myself as a teenager. That didnt last last very long. After about 3 days of not anything I was so weak I couldn't even get out of bed. I snuck in the kitchen and had a twinkie. I felt bad after that so I forced myself to throw it up. Which led me to being bulemic for about 6 months. My friends mentioned to the school counselor and she was able to help me get back to normal eating habits. The counselor tried to introduce me to team sports but I didnt have enough self confidence. PE was bad enough for me. Nobody ever wanted me to be on their team, and the teacher would make me and the other overweight kids run extra laps. It was horrible it really was. In 10th grade, I joined tennis. I played singles. and i ran a mile before and after practice every day. It felt Great! Finally I was losing my TUMMY! I played again in 11th grade, and 12th. I was nominated PROM QUEEN and felt so good inside....but on the outside too! Well, after graduation i put a little more weight on, and now 6 years later Im at my heaviest and would like to get down to 150 or less. I am determined to lose 50+ lbs so that in the June-July of 2008 I can wear my first bikini.
