Yes. I tried to give blood while in college and was told that I needed it more than they did because of my size. Work took care of the low weight thing. Every promotion added at least 10 lbs until I'm working to lose the gains now that I'm retired.
Yes. At age 18 when I took my induction physical I weighed 112 pounds. Underweight. I saw the scale but they lied and wrote down 120 so they could take me. I was 130 when I got out of Basic Training six weeks later.

Might have been normal, but hearing that I should "keep eating, girlie!" made me conscientious of my weight from an early age. I look back at even my younger days of adulthood and see that I looked fine, but thought I was overweight.

In the 50's all kids were thin except me. I was heavy and unhappy being the only fat kid in grade school. Or one of maybe two others. In High School I was thin because I starved myself. Thus the start of yo yo dieting began. My journey this time was the most I ever had to lose to get back to a normal BMI.

Never have been thin. Weighed almost 10 pounds when I was born and never looked back. I was a bit over 150 in 6th grade.

I was very think as a child.
I think life is not so much about waiting for the storms to be over, as much as it is, learning how to dance in the rain.

No! And I started dieting in grade school! Drank lots of Tab & Fresca and started on the road to many crazy diet fads. Thankfully, I have finally wrapped my head around the fact that it is a lifestyle change. No more crazy diets for me!

I believe I was thin until I hit the age of 40 and then came on the layers.
slowly but surely I will get to where I am going.

I was stick thin until I hit puberty and then I got some meat on me. I was never heavy until I got in my 40's. Now, it feels like if I even look at food I gain weight. It has really gotten disgusting lately.
