When I was in Junior high I had had enough of being the chubby girl. One boy in 7th grade called me fat and that was that. Over the summer between 7th and 8th I lost 30 lbs! How did I do it? I stopped eating. I ate 1 meal a day, 1 serving of that meal, and I worked out all day long. I would ride my bike 10 miles a day, I swam lap after lap at the pool while my friends splashed around or tanned. Then I would do aerobics for an hour or two when I got home.
My freshman year of high school I was barely eating at all. I would nearly pass out. Then I discovered if I ate something I didn't want to eat I would just go throw it up afterward.

Then I meet Dominic. I was happy. He wanted me to eat. He loved me. So I did and looking back I don't think I have stopped eating.
I think in high school it was all about me and only me. I could lay around and rest because I had no engery to do anything because I didn't eat. I could be snappy I was a teen we were snappy. Now as a mom I cant do that.

So I am having a hard time getting on the eating the correct way track. Doing the right amount of exercise. It's either all or nothing. Gotta fix that mind set.
