16. I was the fittest fat girl you ever saw.

Sep 2015

50 pounds over weight & I worked out like a fiend. I'd walk 2 miles 5 times a week, lifted weights & did stretching. After 4 years & 0 weight loss I finally said fuck it & only gained 8 pounds. Two years later I went off birth control pills & damn, I lost 45 pounds in 2 months! At one point my husband wanted me to go to a doctor cuz it was so fast, but I felt fine.

I think back & am amazed at how many comments I tolerated about my weight, the most common being, "You'd be a pretty girl if you'd lose some weight." I always wanted to respond with, "And you'd be a nice person if you weren't such an asshole."
