Weight Loss Story
I was born when I was very very young. (I put that joke on an essay in school in grade 11 and he didn't get it!). My mother was a good cook, and was health conscious. We always had fruit on the table for us to snack on.
The earliest I remember having a weight problem was in grade five. My Weight loss story begins there I guess. I was 175lbs and mom decided that I should attend Weight Watchers. I went religiously (Ha...meetings were held in the basement of a church) for I can't remember how long. I also don't remember if I lost any weight. I do remember that I had a sunflower seed habit of eating 1 family pack of SS every day! I remember that because I was told that I couldn't keep that habit up as SS were almost total fat.
For the next couple of years I was pretty steady at playing hockey in town, so got some steady exercise. Then in grade seven I gave up hockey and the weight started to pile on.
During grade seven, eight, and nine, I was so self-conscious of my weight that I always wore an eiderdown vest to try and conceal my weight. I never took that stupid thing off! It got to the point where I was called to the office by the principal and ordered to take it off.
This was one of the most embarassing moments in my story. I had been called to his office simply because of the coat and my weight. I thought about how all the teachers had been discussing my weight and this was the final product of their conversations. Then... then I had to walk back to my room and spend the rest of the day and upcoming weeks without my protective coat hiding my weight.
My recollections of grade 10 are that I ate at least 1 chocolate bar, 1 Super Big Gulp and 1 entire bag of Zesty Cheese Taco's every single day. By grade 12, I was 320lbs
