I have done A LOT of "Dieting" since i was in elementary school. That is when I was told I was fat by the other kids. I didn't feel any different or look any different than the other kids. Looking back on pictures now I still don't think I look any different till about 4th grade. That is when (in Pictures) you will see a difference, not much but there is a difference.
My parents divorced in 1988 (5th Grade) and i was/am and emotional eater like my mom. My father was very abusive, more mentally that physically. You know it is bad when your kids are begging you to leave their father and have saved their allowance to do so. It was a hard time but we got thru it and i am very glad we left when we did because i cannot even imagine the person I (or my sister) would be if we had stayed. I have not seen my father since 2000 and the only reason I saw him then was because i wanted my baby pictures. before that it was 1996 at his dad's funeral. That was really weird!!! we had not seen him or that side of the family since 1989!!!
I remember my Grandmother (my mom's mom) taking me to JC Penneys to get me some new jeans. I went straight to the girls section where the last size i had worn there was a 6x. my grandma came over to me and said... I think you need to look in this section now. She pointed me to the Juniors Section where I bought my first pair of size 13. I was in the 4th Grade!
