OMG. How true. When I was young I weighed about 160 pounds, and everyone called me 'fat' because I wasn't 130 pounds. (I despise them all now.) 
I dieted myself up to nearly 400 pounds, lost 140 with RNY, and still have a lifetime struggle to lose weight at 260. I wish I was as fat as the first time I thought I was fat. 

I was bullied in school for being fat and when I see the photos now I am like what are they talking about. I would have given anything to look and weight that much doing my fat days.

Me too! I was "fat" at 5'6" and 145. I threw track.

What I was a mature woman at high school (physically). The girls around me were still kids (short and scrawny with no boobs).

I look at my HS photos now and think. "**** I was so stupid and dingy for believing the hype!"

"dieted myself up to nearly 400 pounds" - LOL!!  Ain't that the truth!

I've been clearing out old pictures - scanning, giving away, etc.  When I saw pix of me as a kid, I thought why did any say she was fat. I was a cute kid.

Lolol, oh many,  many times.  

I don't have many after photos to reflect back on as I would put the weight back on so fast   But I do know with each lost and gain it was more and more until I hit an all time high of 330.  

When I was a teenager I weighed 135lbs and always thought I was fat. I had two friends who weighed less than 100lbs, so there was always constant comparison.  Nevermind that I was 4 inches taller with a stockier build. 

Mine was a slow climb that turned into a fast climb.  My all time high was after the birth of my youngest.  I topped out at 291 with a BMI of over 51. 

Don't you love "skinny" friends
