When did I realized I was fat? Well lets go back almost a 1/2 century ago. I was a cute baby when fat babies were a good thing. When did I realize it was a problem? When my mother would compare me to my skinny cousins. I could not wear the cute little girlie clothes. (to be continued)
Reconcilations of my past:
My first attempt to lose weight. I remember my mother taking me to a doctor who prescribed diet pills. I must have been in grade school, at the time. The problem was I have always had a problem keeping up with popping pills, so that failed. While still young I also remember my cousins developing a diet plan for me, they listed all the do and donts foods I should be eating. Problem was I had already developed my SNEAK eating habits, which I have carried through my adult life. My moto was "Never let them see me eat".
I recall having a best friend (Sylvia) who lived next store, during my childhood years. I always loved to eat dinner with her and her mother on Sundays, followed by going home and eating a second dinner with my own family. I think someone finally realized what I was doing.
My habit of sneaker eating developed early. I remember actually stealing a nickel on many occasions to go to the candy store to buy cookies and candy. Back in those days I could get a bag full of stuff for a 5cents. (yes admit it--I Stole to sneak eat when I was a child and never got caught thats my confession. A sadness comes over me now that I made this confession because I have never really thought about it until just now -- This is a WOW moment for me.
Recalling my first successful weight loss: The first time I lost weight I was 19 and boy did I look good at 5'8 I weighed 157lbs. But also at that age I had to make a life changing decison, which changed the entire direction of my life. From that time forward I have me been a yo yo dieter. I still do the woulda, shoulda, coulda and life is what is it is now. And its not so bad.
