[quote=Anonymous]I grew up in an overweight family. My single parent was 300+ pounds for most of my childhood. I weighed 140 pounds in the 4th grade - as the parent of a currently 70 pound 4th grader, I just cannot believe that the path I was on at that age was so firmly set. (Don't worry, I completely blame myself, if it sounds like I am shirking any blame)

Anyway I was sick a few months ago and lost my appetite for a few weeks. I cannot get over what it was like to not live constantly thinking about food. Not planning my day around the next thing I will eat. Not constantly feeling guilty for what I wanted to eat or what I did eat or what I didn't eat. It is making me so sad to think of what life could have been like. And while I constantly blame myself for the position I am in (and all related consequences) I feel just sad for myself too. Sad for my 10 year old self, my 45 year old self and all of the years between.

I don't know why I am sharing here, but don't really have anyone in real life to share this with. [/quote]
