so yeah - this is my progress page. this is the main page.
here's a little history on my weight, and where i've been through dieting wonderland.
my father's been trying to make me diet since i was about 5 years old, and i've watched him torture himself with no ability to control himself for years and years.
the summer of my sophomore year in high school (about 1999/1998) he had me go to the rice diet program at duke university
we paid a rather large sum of money for me to eat rice for a month - i lost 50 lbs. total, and then i promptly gained it back to even heavier than before.
emotional eating is special.
anyway here are the pictures . . .

high school:

[1995] i was always a little overweight, but nothing super crazy at first

[1998] a few weeks before i started the rice diet

[1998] right after i've returned from the rice diet with my grandfather - i got that car as a reward

[1998] i've lost 50 lbs. and my dad's gained quite a few more

[1998] boy i sure do think i'm funny when i'm skinnier

[1999] i've gained back some of the weight i lost - me with an old boyfriend and a friend

[2000] me acting silly at one of my favorite fat restaurants - fuddruckers

[2000] that's me on the far right - i was always the fat girl in our group

[2001] my senior year photo in the yearbook - i'm over 200 and haven't been below this weight in 4 years now

[2001] me on the far right again with an old boyfriend in the middle and some crazy guy

[2002] still a fatty, still wearing black

[2003] at the jungle hole gimme a beer!

[2004] this is what i look like now, still having fun and smiling, still fat.
