Up until age 5 or 6, I was healthy and within the right weight range. After I started school that all changed and as far as I can remember I’ve always been at least slightly overweight. The other day my younger brother uploaded a family photo from when we were young kids. It reminded me that I haven’t always been overweight. At one point I was healthy too. I was 5, but that’s okay. It happened and I have photos to prove it.
I was so freaking cut when I was 5! This makes me want to bring out more baby pictures to show you all. There are a lot better ones than this one.
It also makes me want to do “flashback” posts like Janetha does on Fridays. I think I will start doing those more often. It’s fun to share parts of my past that never get talked about anymore.

FUN! It is such a good idea because there is SO much to learn about people “before the blog” :)

hello! I would just like to say that I have been ghost reading your blog for months now (especially the food blog, I love it!), & yours helped inspire me not only to continue what I’m doing & plow on with weight loss, but also to start my own blog, too!
Take care, & keep it up!
