My weight has been up and down since I was in middle school. I had never been a fan of exercise and eating was always good. I do tend to take after my grandmother on my dad's side, shape-wise. I'm kind of a block. It's probably why I love corsets so much, they give me such a nice shape. But there was a time that I was very sad and didn't want to eat...I barely had an ice cream cone every day and I worked in a grocery store. Regularly I was carrying around 50 and 100 lb bags of flour or rice; I was stocking shelves, always on my feet. I was getting pretty slim. Then, when I felt better, I wanted to stay that way. So, I would throw up. But that shit hurt! Until I made sure I drank lots of water. LOTS of water...that made it so much easier..but I really didn't look very healthy.
This is me right after my nephew was born. Right before I got married. I was 135lb. I was tiny. But then I stopped with the puking. Harvey Fierstein would be so sad for me...
What I've found out lately..is that water still helps, but because I'm drinking it more often, not as a lubricant. I've tried many things in my life and I'm still floundering... Today I ate a falafel and baba ganoush sandwich, french fries, Chipotle Sorfritas burrito and a Barq's root beer. Today I bought an office chair, silverware, pizza cutter, tee shirt, ankle support.
