mine was wen i was 6 and my granny called me the fat grandchield....im now 14 and she still calls me the fat one, lokking back on it now, it kinda makes me laghf but i do think would i be alot more confadent with my body and have higher self asteem if she had't of said such a thing
My first experience with a diet, might not have been a good one. I was about 20 popping dexatrim pills, basically made you not want to eat. It was good for quick fix but years later know that isn't healthy. I'm 33 now.
I am 20, about to be 21 in three months, and i can't remember the last time i was happy with my weight. Its such a common theme in my house, my mom competes with me for lowest weight and my dad won't go a day without commenting about my food or figure. Once in high school I became obsessed. Needless to say got a little sick, gained the weight i needed back for college and feel like I'm back a ground zero. I am lost in this world of numbers, scales, food portions, and body image.
I never wanted to go back to the day camp but my parents made me. Needless to say, I have been overweight more than 100 lbs most of my life. I am just the past year have decided to really try to get a hold of it.
The first time I really realized that omg im fat was during day camp one summer I must have been like7 years old. We were on the beach and right before the sand there was a huge step from the sidewalk to the sand. jumping down to the sand was no problem but getting up the step was. So the day camp leaders were guys and were picking some of us up to the sidewalk I was forced to ask him to help me and he made such a mean face like damn and struggled gettin me up. I was soo embarassed.
I had to confront my weight when I entered the Police College. I knew I would never get pasted all the fitness tests. I was 25 kg overweight. Everybody at the college thought I was a write off and that I'd never make it. My dream for 15 years was to become a cop. I studied policing at University. At the Police college I had to do my own training (as there was no-one to help me train). Everyday I did push ups, abs, jogged, weights & walked everywhere. I passed the fitness tests - 25kg & graduate
I started obsessing about my weight in kindergarten. I realized that I was not the thin girl but a chunky girl. The thin girls were more popular. I also remember around kindergarten/1st grade comparing weights with other girls and feeling inferior when I was bigger than some of the other girls.
I was close to thirty and my sister had taken a picture of me sitting, wearing a big sweater. I picked the piture up and looked at it and I couldn't recognize the person as myself. I got a a scale and saw that I was a little over 310lbs. At 5'6" that was not good. So I joined the "Y" and have kept my weight at 200lb or lower ever since.

When I was in high school and people were making fun of me cause I had strechmarks on my legs. That started it all.
