But with a class of 10 students, the odds weren't that great! When I moved to public school, I wasn't the biggest kid anymore, but my body image was HORRIBLE! I am only about 10 pounds away from where I was the day I gave birth to my son. It makes me sick, because right after he was born, I was down to a weight I hadn't seen in years. It the past 18 months, I have gained 30+ pounds. I need to lose this weight, because it is holding me back from the wife/parent/person I want to be.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05614217802685336736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4608166246947859029.post-38245039684074573172013-02-26T19:43:25.724-08:002013-02-26T19:43:25.724-08:00I didn't know you struggled with this. I'm...I didn't know you struggled with this. I'm very worried with my soon-to-be teenager and her self-image, as I think I already told you about her. I never have used the word fat or fatty foods. I would always talk about healthy foods but they pick up these things all over the place. I just hope I can teach all my kids these important eating habits. You have been such a life-saver. Thanks for sharing your story. It's also fun to see those old high school pics. :)Missyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11618332776861665176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4608166246947859029.post-3228628101389430022013-02-26T19:24:21.445-08:002013-02-26T19:24:21.445-08:00Loved this post, it's nice to be able to read ...Loved this post, it's nice to be able to read others people's struggles with an eating disorder.

What a great and personal post Kelli! I so appreciate you sharing this with me. I often think that I can't relate to girls who were skinny in high school and now are overweight just trying to get back to that high school weight again and your post showed me that's not always the full picture and how important it is to see the other side- under-eating. Thanks for sharing your story.Meagan , Brian, Sydney and Jonas!https://www.blogger.com/profile/07039813101144978941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4608166246947859029.post-50207926249784063332013-02-26T13:37:56.921-08:002013-02-26T13:37:56.921-08:00Kelli I had a similar experience.

I'm glad you are in a better place right now and are able to keep things in check. Please let me know when you want to go out and "play." I think staying active with things you love is a great way to keep your weight in check.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09741556399764341585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4608166246947859029.post-38886264513656790042013-02-25T20:39:49.093-08:002013-02-25T20:39:49.093-08:00Wow, Kelli.

I was just talking to Jeremy the other day about how just a short time ago our society (and us) were so uneducated about eating healthy. Back then, we were all about fat-free...and that's about it! It's great that you are blogging about this. Sometimes people jokingly give me a hard time about being healthy (obviously, they haven't seen me down a row of Oreos), but I eat really similarly to you...and it's not a diet...it's a lifestyle. That's the key. No starving, no special foods, no pills, just real food that makes our bodies healthy. I love how you stress the importance of diet and exercise, that there's no magic solution, and that when we eat some junk food...it's okay! Anyway, this comment is long enough.

( she is 5'1 and weighs 102 lbs, she is not heavy at all) I had to have a conversation with her about how the scale doesn't tell us everything. I am so glad she came to me.
