Sue Boutette
I have been married for 25yrs. and have four children including a set of twins.
I had spent my whole life fighting the words "skinny" and "toothpick", as they hurt just as bad as being called "fat" and "ugly". I was teased about my "knobby-knees" and hated my "scrawny" wrists and arms. I wore long-sleeves and turtlenecks to hide my thinness. I was told that if I turned sideways and stuck out my tongue, I'd look like a ZIPPER!
My nickname: none other than Olive Oil, you know, the stick-thin girlfriend of Popeye (homely, gangly and unattractive to say the least).
Sooooo,......how did I get to HERE! Good question. I'm not sure I have all the answers.
Possible theories:
Infertility treatment over a period of 7 years.
Birth of four children, especially the twins.
Breast Cancer treatment (chemo/rad) and subsequent hormone therapy (5 years)
Well, no matter how I got here, here is where I am. Here is what I intend to change. Here is the beginning of a new life.
This is my story.......and I'm sticking to it!
