Post subject: Taking Charge

What kind of editor would I be if I didn't follow my own advice? Currently I weigh 206 punds. I've examined the reasons why I keep holding on to the weight. Really none of it has to do with my inability to resist Krystal burgers.
A lot of it has to do with self esteem and body image. I was a skinny kid. So skinny that my mom has to buy my pants in the boys department. I could make Olive Oyl look like Marilyn Monroe. I was constantly teased and picked on. As I slid into puberty, I did fill out a bit but I also drew the unwanted attention of adult men. That scared me terribly. From my late teens to early 20's I became addicted to bodybuilding. Because of my father's gene's I have a terrific muscularity that really took to it. I got incredible definition in a very short time. So much so that I was mistaken for a boy. I hated being skinny.
To make a long story short I developed bulimia and I'm still paying the price for that. I'm also living with a body that is overweight and out of shape. So now that I'm aware of what's been holding me back, I can take charge of the matter. One step is to begin and exercise program (after Tahnksgiving of course)  [/i] |
