Growing up skinny, gaining as a young adult, losing it at 30


I've had 2 long car rides to think. 
As I sit here in the backseat, like I did growing up, I stare out my window, I remember so many things.
But I'm mainly writing this in my head. 
Weight problems are always surrounding us.
 When I was young, I was a skinny, a picky eater! Mom and dad would make me my own meals if they knew I didn't like what they were cooking. At one point my grandmother in Kansas thought I had an eating disorder. No I just had to go to the bathroom when we were done eating. 
I was skinny and short. My dad called me his little shrimp or runt. Kids in my neighborhood,  made fun of me for being skinny. You read that right, because I was skinny. At one point one had nicknamed me broken tooth pick. 
As a teenager food, mainly pasta was my dinner. It was a comfort. See even to this day I feel like a brown recluse spider. I like being in my corner, with the lights off, where no one can bother me
And if you come at me my venom (words) are lethal. 
In my 20's I didn't do much better, I wasn't very active, and liked to be alone. But life got to comfortable for me. And I become obese. I shutter at that thought, that word. Being overweight can rob us of our lives. It can, trust me, I've seen it. It causes so much stress on the body and the mind. And I am so ready for a change!!!! And I know I'm on the right track!!!

A little date night action for ya!!! We are watching The Bare Naked Ladies
