When I moved from the city to the suburbs I didn't fit in. I wanted to keep going with what I knew and play football and baseball and all the guy things. Well, the girls in the 'burbs just didn't do this! So I didn't know how to relate to the girls, and they guys wouldn't have me, so I became a loner.
The first time I remember being teased about my weight was in high school. My nickname was 'two books wide' - my ass was as wide as two books. There was only a couple of jerks who called me this, but it still hurt. I was in the 6th or 7th high school by this time, so I was still an 'outcast' PLUS now I guess I was not thin enough.
I did always seem to have a boyfriend, and by the time I was 18 I was pregnant with twins (which I lost) and by 19 I had a daughter and a husband. The husband didn't last long, and so I got another. This one lasted a bit longer but I got rid of that one also.
During all of this my weight just kept going up and up. I don't own a scale (never did) and I did not diet (they don't work - if they did this website would not exist). I went back to school when my daughter started school (I had earned an Associates Degree right after she was born) and have been in school ever since. Divorce and being a single mom sometimes came before school, but I stuck with it.
I am now married to a wonderful man who has 2 Engineering Master's Degrees, I am working on my own 2 Master's Degrees (Physics and Aerospace Engineering), and my daughter is a senior in High School (she's been on the honor roll for the last 2 years and taking college classes this year!). I am now ready to deal with my emotional issues and lose this weight.
