I was always thin but athletic...I mean I was 5-3 and wore a size 5 back in the 80's (probably a size 1 nowadays!) and weighed 110-115 and I was always called thunder thighs by the boys. I still always feel that shame from the ridicule...but I at least have learned that my legs will always be STRONG and that's actually something I am PROUD of now! They are strong enough to kick ass, pedal a bike, run up a hill, give me a strong sprint when I want to die and so much more!!! But yes, sometimes the pain of childhood is always there.<br /><br />Anywhoo - on a more positive note - so glad to hear that the surgery went well and that you and the Mr were able to escape the pressure through some fond reminiscing! You guys are fantastic!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13477548540626948283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-84258648431122728492011-04-08T13:13:53.064-04:002011-04-08T13:13:53.064-04:00I think you might always have that instinct when y...I think you might always have that instinct when you first run across people. I know I do. You'll mentally brace for whatever you have been made fun of for before no matter how thin you get. To this day I'm paranoid about my teeth and wearing glasses - I was always ridiculed in my younger years with the 4 eyes taunt and my teeth were jacked cuz I knocked the baby ones out falling on a concrete floor. Thank God for contacts, braces and tooth bleach. I may still be overweight but I never hear anyone say anything--being built like a brick sh*thouse with a massive linebacker hubby probably helps in that regard, lol. I'm very proud of you for forging ahead with your plans even though there were children nearby. Great job!Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13952196768459561867noreply@blogger.com
