(Belated) Wednesday Weigh-In

I can still remember the very first time I thought I was overweight.

I was in the third grade, and a boy in my class made a remark that I was heavy.

My eyes (naturally) welled up with tears, and I will never forget that feeling. I had never felt fat before his mean comment, and looking back, I was definitely not overweight at age nine.

Here is a picture of my nine-year-old self.

Oops. Actually, my scanner isn't working. So no nine-year-old self picture.

Sorry about that.

But anyway...

I couldn't believe I could pinpoint the beginning of when I started to believe I was fat to such an exact moment. I am also shocked (and truthfully, saddened) that this happened to me at such a young age.

Little girls should never think that they are fat.

I know it's important to encourage healthy eating habits and exercise, but girls shouldn't feel as though they need to be stick thin. At such a young age, our bodies are no where near maturity and still have a lot of growing to do.

Weight today: 147 pounds (oh yeah!!!)

I have been doing much better sticking with my daily exercise and also eating healthy again. I feel back on track!

Had to throw this in there to celebrate Harry today!!
And see that girl next to me? Vintage blogger Mandy.
