So my story begins back about 10 years ago when i was 10. It seemed that rather suddenly people started saying things like I was fat and need to lose weight. I didnt pay much attention to it because I had always felt good about the way I was. Truth is I had never really been skinny but I guess people just thought I would grow out of it. When I was 11 I was put on my first real diet. I was restricted to eating about 800 calories a day and would basically be yelled at for eating more. My grandmother would always say you will feel so much better if you lose just 5 more pounds....That summer I managed to get down to 130 lbs. After that diet I got was so sick. There were constant problems with my health whether it was headaches or stomach pains, I strongly believe they were related to that summer and not being allowed to eat. Finally when I got away from my grandmother, I found out my true love was food. I use it to comfort myself when I am down or even when I am happy I want food. Since I was 11 I have more than double my weight and not grown a single inch in height. I am finally at the point where I am horrified at the way I look and just want to be considered normal again.
