Pretty, active. These are all words I've been hearing people call me for most of my life.
For as long as I can remember, I've been just a little bit fat. I was a fat kid and now I'm a curvy woman. In high school, I was not healthy. I was too busy to eat too much and became too fat. So I had practice (which included running, weight-lifting, and tumbling) two hours a day, five days a week, in addition to basketball games, football games, and cheerleading competitions. I was strong.
Once I left high school and I realized I needed to make some serious changes to keep healthy. I started going to the university gym at least five times a week and tried not to eat anything stupid, but nothing worked. I started down a dangerous path that I nearly didn't pull myself out of.
But then I tried a doctor-monitored diet a few years later and lost about 50 pounds, still placing me on the "overweight" side of normal for my height by about five pounds.
I tried to keep that weight. I was eating the healthiest I've ever eaten in my life, and I was exercising an average of an hour a day, seven days a week. No matter what I did, the weight crept back on. But I didn't really mind, because I was still really healthy and active.
And now today, I'm still overweight, but you know what? I'm also really healthy. I even ran two half-marathons last year.
