Hey girl! I spent most of my childhood as a 'chubby' as well. How well I remember the pain I felt..... not being one of the pretty ones, which was MY way of thinking about the thin ones. Today, all these many......many years later, I can't really remember their faces, how 'pretty' they actually were. I just remember their sizes.....and that they could tuck their blouses into their skirts (all girls were required to do wear dresses or skirts in the dark ages I grew up in. No pants allowed for us little ladies.
). When I tucked MINE in, I looked even more like a blob. Big sigh.
Funny thing about those wishes. I remember looking up into the sky many nights, and wishing on the first star I saw. The wish was always the same for me. "Please, please oh PLEASE, I want to be thin and beautiful." Well, I don't know about the beautiful part..... in fact THAT part of my wish I don't really care about. But I still want the THIN part!
Much good luck and success to you on YOUR journey. Maybe we've both found a place to share our own 'war stories'. It is a battle..... but it CAN be won.
