Ancient History

Posted by JamieG

I distinctly remember lying awake in bed when I was probably 9 or 10 with my hands circled about my thigh and imagining a big laser that would shave off half of my leg. I guess my imagination wasn't too far off from what can be done now. Looking at pictures, I know that I was not fat then. My frame was larger than that of the other little girls who lived around me. I didn't understand that then. I am saddened as I realize how negative my self image was at such a young age. It follows me now. Even the times when I have been fit, I could only see the fat. My biggest hope is for a way out of this.
