Hi, my name is Jeanette and I've been obese since...well as long as I can remember.  I was an athletic kid (a tomboy), but always an obese, athletic kid.  I started my sports career when I was 8 by playing softball, soccer, basketball and volleyball, but no matter how active I was, I was always the fatest kid on the team.  I hated it.  My self esteem was about as low as it could be.  I only had a couple true friends, I mean those who would stand up for me when others called me names and could see beyond my physical appearance.  I'm sure my story isn't all that different than a lot of other people, but even now, I feel alone. 

 

This is my journey.
