I've recently come to realize how screwed up my self-perception is.
All through high school, I felt like a fat schlub. I was 180 lbs - I KNEW I was overweight. I thought everyone around me thought I was overweight. That's why guys never liked me.
Looking back from almost 300 lbs now, I see how good I really had it back then. At the time, I thought I should be at the very most a size 10. I now realize that's a completely unrealistic expectation for someone of my height. I was actually pretty healthy at 180 (God I WISH I was 180 again!) My "healthy weight" is between 160-170. If I had just realized it then, maybe I wouldn't be where I am now.
I'm always going to be a curvy girl and I am PROUD of that!

Oh, the mind games we put ourselves through in our teens. Gah.
I hear you on this. I thought I was a cow at 125 pounds, and now I would do anything to get to 140.
Sigh.

Hey Kelly!
I love your blog, the template is fantastic, and its so awesome to see that you too are a Sparkpeople nut and are proud that you're going to be a curvy girl :D
I will be stopping by often to see how you are doing in your weight loss adventures!
6 feet tall?!! Yay for tall girls!
I'm 5'11" and although I wasn't 180 in high school, I was a lot smaller than I am now, and I too wish I could reclaim the 250 lbs I weighed back then :)
