I was quite skinny. When I was a little kid, my mom used to put suspenders on me to hold my jeans up. Thanks Mom! When I graduated high school, I was 5’ 9” and weighed 125 pounds. At college graduation, I weighed about 10 pounds more, and think I looked much better. :) Growing up, we ate fast food regularly, crap like Twinkies and Little Debbie snacks, almost no fresh fruits or veggies. Our fridge was constantly stocked with soda, and my high school lunch consisted of a Coke and some Nutty Bars. I’d stop at McDonald’s on my way home from school almost every day once I had my own car. I didn’t exercise or play sports at all, but spent most of my childhood until the car with my rear end stuck firmly to my bike. I did a lot of hiking. Ate horribly all through college, especially the semester my roommate worked at a local pizza place and brought home all of the leftover slices after each of her shifts. In spite of that, I was rather hot, if I do say so myself.
Then I had three kids and it was all downhill from there!
