Well, like a lot of other people on OH, I have been overweight my whole life. The way my dad puts it, I was a "solid" baby. I grew up an only child, but I was very outgoing as a kid. I danced from the age of 3 until I was 15. I was adopted, which is a great thing. I ended up where, I believe, God meant for me to go. I am very close with my dad's family, a big Italian family. Lots of love and LOTS of Food. Growing up I went to 8 different schools, which I believe is why today I have a big need for a stable life.
As a child I didn't really notice being made fun of until I got to 3rd grade. It was horrible, and today can't understand how children can be so cruel. This making fun of continued until I graduated high school in 2001. Anywhere from fries being put down my shirt to being sprayed at with a "shaken up" can of coke.
Today I am much stronger, but my heart hurts for that child who turned into an adult who never gained a sense of security or self esteem growing up.
That is why I am now wanting to recieve a great tool in helping me FINALLY get this stupid weight off. I am an admitted food addict, and love to cook and bake and EAT those comfort foods.
I've never known me without the fat! So I'm looking forward to not having weight be an issue EVERYDAY of my life! Getting to go in a regular store, race a stock car, finish school to become that awesome teacher I know I am now, fall in love (let someone else love me) and have that house full of babies I've wanted since I was 6. Just live a normal life and show all the jerks (including some family) that said I wasn't good enough LOOK AT ME NOW!!
When I have that moment....then I've arrived!
Thank you to EVERYONE at OH that has shown me the support and love that I've needed, when I didn't have it anywhere else. I look forward to getting to know more of you as the years go on. Thanks a bunch!
