Growing up I was always very thin. Food never excited me. When I was in high school I weighed 140 lbs. and I never thought about my weight. I ate whatever I wanted. I regret not appreciating being thin though. I never had to worry about my legs rubbing together or going into a store and not being able to fit anything or just not being happy about how I looked. I mean I had my problems. I have extremely long arms and I could never find tops that fit. When I was in high school my biggest wish was to be able to where a long sleeve button up shirt with sleeves that reached my wrist. They didn’t have the extra long sleeves like they have now. Now when I think back on it I would trade long arms with having to lose 100 lbs. in a heart beat.
I don’t like to drive and would rather either walk or catch the bus, but when I was nineteen I got a job working third shift. So, I had to purchase a car because buses stopped running around 6pm. I think I instantly put on 20 lbs. that first year. I only ate one meal a day. I would leave work at 7:30 in the morning and eat one huge meal, watch TV, and then go to sleep. The next couple of years I really started getting into going to buffets and I packed on about 35lbs. Then a couple of years ago I went back to school, which made my schedule really crazy. I ate out every meal. Usually I would have pancakes with butter for breakfast, lunch I would have fast food or the lunch buffet close to work, then I would have a slice of pizza for dinner, and then after school a bunch of my classmates and I would meet up at Applebee’s and have ½ price appetizers. That was daily!!!! I packed on another 40 lbs. bringing my weight to 234 lbs. That’s the highest I’ve ever been and I pray to God to give me strength to never see that number again.
