I used to be small when I was in grade school...around a size 5. I remember not being able to fit an outfit and going on Slim Fast for 2 weeks!!! That would never work now. I was very active and only used food for nourishment. I have a large family that loves to eat and my portions we probably too big, but my activity and metabolism were high, so it was never a problem.
My junior year of college, I let emotions and life start to control me. On top of that I got lazy. Food became one of my best friends and I became more introverted. Once I graduated it was a rapid downward spiral of diets, failures, and weight gain. My self-image plummeted and there was a vicious cycle of eating because I was unhappy and being unhappy because I was eating. I even started looking up information on Overeaters Anonymous. At that point I knew I had to do something...
