Of course, I was just a normal-sized little girl, but that perception haunted me even as I entered middle school and was what I now consider to be an astonishingly slim 120.<br /><br />Things are pretty different for me now, having gained quite a bit of weight since then. I'm not sure how I am supposed to be happy with myself when my standards have obviously been so misguided and my self-image so twisted from a very young age. You just have to remember all the people you love for so many more reasons than their appearance. Others feel the same about you.
