I remember in grade school I was so envious of the shy, quiet, thin girls. It was always my summer resolution that when I came back to school in the fall I would not only be thin but quiet and shy palmer, liza - like all the good girls were. That never materialized. I first discovered that it might be possible to lead a real life without losing weight as my primary goal when I got away from my palmer, liza parents' house and went to college. I'd spent every year up to then planning palmer, liza and plotting how my life would begin after I had lost weight. Gradually I began to realize that how I ate and how I dressed were actually my choice and not fully dictated by the embarrassment of my appearance. I stopped dressing like I had to cover as much of my body as possible and I stopped eating in public like I was trying to loose weight. The first few times I heard someone call me beautiful it didn't even occur to me that they just might be sincere. It had never occurred to me that I could be beautiful.
