The Road to Skinny

So, I am not sure how popular this might be, but I think that with the holidays coming and the weight gains that will be following this would be a fun and inspiring thing to do.

Here's my story...
My name is Amanda, I am 20 years old. Over the last 6 years and I have gone up and down in weight. Mostly over the last 4. I was 120lbs in grade 9, which is average for my height (5'2) and although I was a good healthy weight I was still always getting call fat, getting poked in the stomach like the Pillsbury dough boy and constantly picked on because of my weight. I am not sure in what world 120lbs is "fat" its no where near being fat. Any smaller for my height would be under weight. This is where it all started. My up and down weight gain. I looked in the mirror and I felt disgusting and  huge. I started drinking and smoking, and then moved on to smoking weed. I lost weight and was down to about 110lbs but I still felt like I was fat, and was still being call it. This was horrible to go through, I couldn't believe how mean and just plain STUPID these people where, but it still got to me and still made me think I was fat. I wasnt able to get on the school bus with out people calling me names. I ended up transferring school at the end of grade 9. When I got to my new school it was totally different people where so nice, no one was making fun of me, everyone was friendly. I ended up getting alot of new friends and I really enjoyed my new school. Then after about 6 months of being there I started dating a guy. I was still at about 110-115, then you know what happens...after a year of being in a relationship and being comfortable, someone snapped a picture of me in a tank top. WELL I was mortified to see how big I had gotten. I went right away and weighed myself, well what do you know 145lbs. I freaked out, but didnt do anything. I felt I didnt need to, I got my man and I dont need to look good for anyone (I was wrong!) After being with him for almost 3 years we decided it wasnt working any more. I didnt know what to do, I was 150lbs, who was going to want me now! So I became anorexic...I lost 35lbs in less then 2 months.I wasnt eating anything all day until about 9 or 10 at night, I would have some pizza crust. I met a new guy and I started drinking, and smoking weed again. All my friends where very scared and my parents, rumors started that I was a coke head, sex addict etc. of course none of these where true. Me and the new guy didnt last more then 2 months, when attraction is the only thing you have you have nothing! About 3 or 4 months later I met my current boyfriend. Right away we knew there was something, I know love at first sight sound so cliche but it was, we began talking every night on the phone for 10 hours at a time. We could see each other very much because he live 2 hours away. Eventually he came and moved with me. We ended up getting our own place and moved to where he was from. I thought I would be able to get a job, but no. So I became a house wife (not married, yet) After living together for 6 months, the weight gain started again. In a short time I was up to 140lbs, more then before. Devastated once again, but I didnt do anything about it. Another 6 months go by and we find out we are pregnant!! I was so happy, so excited (we had been trying for a year) and it finally happened. I gained some weight and I was at 150lbs, but it didnt matter, it was for a good cause. I also got a job, so things where looking up. At 8 weeks I miscarried. It was the worst thing I had ever gone through, I wasnt eating, sleeping, nothing, I was just in bed. My work understood and told me to take a week off. I was no where near ready to go to work, but I pulled my self together and went. It was a week after the miscarry my first day back and I got fired! This started my comfort food diet, chocolate, steak, deep fried crap. Of course, I gained another 6lbs! So Now I am sitting here at 156lbs and starting my road to HEALTHY SKINNY!!!
So this is my story and I hope you will enjoy my journey and hopefully I can inspire people to join me!
