if i knew then, what i know now…

no regrets
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!
