Pictures of Me Growing Up

I was always a chunky kid growing up. I'm sure you can imagine the torture people put me through, so I won't get into it. Finally, I accept my body for how it is. If I were more secure at a younger age, I might not have put myself through the "dieting to Fit IN" stage. I mean, what is that anyway? Losing weight to make someone else happy? That's crazy. All that ever made me was UN-happy, aggrivated, and hungry! And that was not fair to me.
Have you ever heard of a song called "Garden Party"? Jellogrrl, from the Dimensions' BBW Site, told me that Ricky Nelson sings it. There is a wonderful line in that song. Whenever I feel down I just listen to it: "Well, it's alright now...I've learned my lesson well. (say you) Can't Please Everyone, so you Got to Please Yourself!" I do as I please these days. So now, as a kick, I want to share with you some pictures of me growing up (and out!)
