In my tween years, I gained a lot. I was criticized by everyone so I ate less at breakfast and I became weird about eating in front of people at school, so I stopped eating at school all together.

When I got home from school, I was dizzy and ravenously hungry. So I binged. And on strange things so my mom wouldn't notice what was missing.

I started taking fiber pills just to feel full and not want to eat. That made me pretty sick.

I lost a lot in my teens and was "normal" but I've gained since.

Changing habits at middle age is hard.
