if i knew then, what i know now…

okay, so today i jumped on the scale and i was happy to see i am still at 118. i had a little/big slip up this week. so that is great! i have worked myself down to this weight in the past 2 years. and i am now exactly the size i was when i was 16. now, my driver’s license really is correct:)) that made me think. i was so dumb back then! i actually thought i was hideously fat. i wouldn’t be caught dead in shorts/skirts in public. i did NOT wear tank tops. if i HAD to go swimming i would wear boy shorts and a t-shirt. in P.E. (when i wasn’t skipping) i wore track pants instead of the uniformed shorts (i probably got marked down for that). now, i wear tanks all the time! i have no problem wearing shorts (although, i am picky about choosing flattering ones). i actually think i look alright in my bathingsuit (given, it’s a one-piece). it makes me sad to think of all the things i missed out on because my self-esteem was so low. dances, sports, all the cute clothes!
I think all of us are like that - congrats on your amazing progress over the last two years!
we all got through it. Glad to see you appreciate your body now, not only for how its looks but for how healthy it is now =] And you can still wear cute clothes!!!
I know I was so like that, too. Love your self acceptance now. Keep it up!

yeah i remember being like that when i weighed 115
