| Not a wallflower |
Throughout junior high and high school, I continued to compare my body to that of everyone around me. I always felt that I came up short...and fat.
Now, you’d think, by reading so far, that I was a quiet wallflower who stared at my classmates in the halls, talking to no one and hating myself all day. On the contrary. I had lots of friends, even more boyfriends, and was quite satisfied being me. Except. I wanted a different body.

| Yup, that's me in the glasses. *coughdorkcough* |
I had always enjoyed playing sports, either basketball or track (believe it or not) but in high school, I began dieting and weight training. I worked out several times a week and stopped eating sugar for over a year. My arms quickly shed fat, uncovering the muscle beneath. My legs, which have never been where I gain weight, looked better than ever. My mid-section, however, was still a battle. So while I felt better, satisfied I was not.
