Sammeli
My mom took me to a dietician for the 1st time when I was 12. I don't even know how much I weighed, but he prescribed 6 pills a day and thank God my mom wouldn't stand for that. Nonetheless, she and my Dad rather made sure that I felt guilty and horrible every single time I ate anything. I've been a closet binger since I can remember. I have been skinny and seriously obese, I've been popular and unpopular, beautiful and ugly...all the extremes a 90 pound range can give you when you're a petite 5'4. I survived under the 200 range my first childbirth, but with the second I was huge even as the baby took its first steps. In my family there are a few 350+ pounders, I've struggled through unhealthy practices not to become one more.... The sleeve represents for me a tool, a hope to get rid of a life where food and weight is the first thing I think, plan, anguish, fantasize, dwell about every single morning of my life.
