It all started in first grade.

There were only 6 other students in my class. Most girls picked on me because I was overweight, even my best friend, who is not my best friend anymore. During recess, when I would play with my class, they always gave me the boring or unimportant roles in our pretend game. I guess I took whatever I could get. Over the years, I continued to be overweight but it didn't bother me much. I had nothing to lose weight for THEN...

But, of course, I was always reminded that I was, once in a while. I still remember my annual check-ups with my physician and him marking me down as over weight. He used to always tell me to do exercise and eat healthy, but I was a kid and like any other kid, I loved candy and ice cream etc. I used to do tennis until I was maybe ten, then I got bored of it I guess.

Time went by, and I when I hit my teens, that is when I started feeling embarrassed about my appearance. They were good and bad days and there still are. I was never as pretty or skinny as all the other girls. It felt awkward. It got worse eventually. I used to go on diets that consisted of barely eating and lots of exercise.

Those diets only lasted a week for me, but I tried them multiple times. I didn't go on these "diets" because I wanted to be the prettiest girl in School or any of that crap.... I did it for myself. Anyways, the "diets" never worked out, and I realized that those types of diets never will work out for me or anyone.

During around Christmas time, I was extremely pissed at my appearance and I decided New Year's Day that I would lose weight, for real this time. Everyone asked me where do you get all this will power from, as they noticed that I was taken this dieting thing seriously. I had multiple answers:

- 5 heroes

- a goal

-a point to prove...

time passed....

And I learned a lesson....

That shall be taught in this story....
