I am a size 20. There are many a day that I wish I was back down to the
size 14. My mother kept putting me on diets in my teens, trying to get me
"smaller" and "thinner" but she was a size 2 so what do u expect. The
green bean and cracker/egg diet seemed to be her favorite. Now, I am
finding it hard to stay on any diet; and I really want to lose the weight
(health reasons). I know it's all a self-esteem thing, as well as genetic
metabolism (take after dad's side rather than mom's skinny side, grr);
but that doesn't make it easier when I go to school and see these 18
somethings who are so thin and well built with the Leonardo guys.

Sighs. Weight's a sore subject for me. I am trying to keep my son on a
good eating habits to start him off on the right foot.
