I loathed them with every fiber of my being. The thought still makes me uncomfortable. Can you imagine the lawsuits, if that were to happen today??Confessions of a Closet Hoarder but you can call me Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09618687581973592183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544369219259741408.post-41089774318942278622013-05-09T19:21:38.979-06:002013-05-09T19:21:38.979-06:00Believe it or not, I'm okay with my body right...Believe it or not, I'm okay with my body right now. Not okay enough that I will forever be as heavy as I am, but okay enough that I don't obsess over how horrible I look all the time, and I can enjoy myself in spite of it. I spent too many years beating myself up for it. <br /><br />And Tony sounds like a keeper! :)Confessions of a Closet Hoarder but you can call me Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09618687581973592183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544369219259741408.post-67660766545378638632013-05-09T19:16:46.315-06:002013-05-09T19:16:46.315-06:00And I am so glad you are still that way, Sherry.

Being skinny then and becoming over-weight in my 50's,I can truthfully say in ones own mind being over-weight is the worst, even without the name calling.<br />As for that barbaric exam, shame on them! <br />I entered school in 1943 and thankfully my schools did not subject us to this ( no words to express my distaste for that behavior.) <br /> (((hugs)))My name WAS Female, I shit you not!https://www.blogger.com/profile/18261595799137622984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544369219259741408.post-10361493562146812452013-05-09T06:20:03.204-06:002013-05-09T06:20:03.204-06:00I weighed all of 125 at 16.

A 23" waist wasn't small enough?"<br /><br />Seems most of us have had weight issues that we carry around. It's the physical manifestation of something else usually. I really like the body I have now (even with 30 pounds to go) but I found myself appoligizing last night to Tony that it may never be "tiny and toned". And in actually he doesn't care. He just wants me healthy.Julihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10097214923216967086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544369219259741408.post-2368588845134829022013-05-08T23:02:38.008-06:002013-05-08T23:02:38.008-06:00Hugs my friend.

I was the shorter rounder girl in school, and yet when I see those pics of me as a kid, all I see is a cute little girl with a bright smile and a heart full of love. And that is who I was , except I was also a scared little girl who just wanted to be happy and didn't want to be hurt by the unkind words and deeds of others.Oh the Adult be is all of that and then some but I am better at protecting the little girl these days Sherry Sikstromhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15739108723318002627noreply@blogger.com
