I like the way I look. I take care of myself and it is all because of one year of Junior High when I became a little chubby over the summer before the schoolyear. Feeling uncomfortable in my own skin that year was one of the most terrifying and mentally distressing experiences of my entire life. I really can't stress that enough. Usually wore a little bit tight white shirts (and a leather jacket when it was cold) to school and those white shirts are not something a chubby kid should ever wear and I knew it, so I couldn't even dress the way I wanted to that year.
That summer I forced myself to lose what weight I had gained the year before (Dr. Pepper...) and have not fallen back into chubtitude since. I actually have nightmares about it. It really legitimately scares me.
