[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was a chubby, brainy nerd.  If I could keep it anonymous I'd send you my picture freshman year of college and senior year.  I had a total makeover--hair, clothes, lost 40lbs.  So, I got a great career as a brain and now look hot.  Classic ugly duckling story.  [/quote]

Oh and as far as social goes...I was super shy in high school, but it was a self-esteem thing.  By the end of college I felt a lot better and was much more outgoing.  I'll probably always be a little quirky, but it works for me.

Sister me too! I dropped 60 pounds between graduation and the end of Christmas my freshman year of college. In hindsight, I was depressed in high school, bored and frustrated that I wasn't living life yet. I actually got into pulling myself together looks wise and realized holy hell I'm stunning :). Who know dropping 60 pounds and getting a haircut and learning how to put on make up and dressing decently would do wonders (I wore sweats all the time in high school).

I was poor and lived in a trailer in Woodbridge. So I had poverty issues.

I went to school out of state (on a full scholarship with loans to cover my living expenses), so I didn't come home until Christmas. I was eating dinner at a restaurant when one of the bartenders sent a drink over (I was a minor and obviously didn't drink it since I was with my Aunt -- who happily took it for me). He then proceeded to try to hit on me, which is hilarious and sad because this was the same guy who would literally bark at me when I walked down the hall.

I am fairly successful in the DCUM way (biglaw attorney who's married to a physician and has no time, but plenty of money). I actually vowed to never return to DC but life had other plans and I've been toiling away her for 20 years. Live in what I see as my dream house in North Arlington. Raising three kids with the help of a nanny and housekeeper. The kids have no idea how poor I was or what my life was like. It's almost like that person in high school no longer exists. But she does.
