I certainly didn't have a thing to worry about then. I have always had this worry that I looked worse than everyone, I have gone on various diets over the years and lost a little weight here and there and been pleased at the time. In my older middle years now I am some sort of average size neither overweight nor thin, I still see myself as fat, but the odd photo of me with other people says that I am not too bad. I become very discontent and very put out if I do not loose weight quickly. I prefer to just be careful not to overeat and go lightly the next day if I can.
Early conditioning can make or break.
I was brain washed too but not only by kids at school but by family members as well. So I was chubby. The thing is, now that I have lost the weight and look fit. Now people are telling me how great I look and how pretty I am. If that was supposed to be a compliment then it was lost somewhere in the words.
