February 1994


This was as skinny as I have ever been. Those are size 8 jeans and a size small sweater. I was 145 pounds. It was so hard to get down to that weight. I didn't stay there long, either. I had a few good years, but it was easy to pack back on the pounds. After feeling "deprived" for so long, and then facing several job changes, adjusting to married life, a new puppy--you know, LIFE--I thought I "deserved" to eat again. I had also thought that my life would be perfect if I was just skinny. WRONG! Life will always be full of challenges, stress, joys and sorrows. I now know that I DESERVE to be healthy and strong. And that takes work.
