I can tell you almost each and every year of my life since I was 15 what my weight was.
I like many in this world have grown up with a complex.
That the weight by which society see's us, gives weight to who we are
Here is a brief journey in the "ways" in which I have "weighed" my life
"My Little Pumpkin" "Look at those big cheeks" "Oh what a little butterball" "A healthy child, her mother feeds her well" |
"Our Big Pumpkin" "There's just more of her to love" "She looks like one of those Gerber kids" |
"Your too fat to fit on that swing" "You can't be on our team, you can't even run" "Your gonna bend the monkey bars with your big butt" |
"Fat girls don't belong in gymnastics" "Winner of the Turtle Award: An award given to the slowest kid" "You can't run? What are yous stupid?" |
"Sweet 16 and I weighted 118. Doctors said I was 10 lbs too heavy for my height" "Big Boned, no its called lazy" I hid most of my teen years in black, it was more slimming |
Age 21: Weight: 118 I was finally were the doctors said I belonged I hardly ate, I had no energy, and what's funny is my siblings still called me fat and my mother called me anorexic. |
No matter how hard I worked No matter how strict the diet My clients knew when I gained a lb. or two I was always being asked when I was going to start to loose the weight again |
