Skirmish 1: The Tale of Slaying the First Line of Dragon(pants) Defense
So a long time ago in a land far, far away... okay not really. This story isn't that epic. A long time ago, I lost a lot of weight. I was very close to my goal. Then I hit a plateau, got frustrated, gained a little, then started heavy lifting. BOY WAS I STRONG. HOT DIGGITY DOG!! By the way, the pants were all slain by this…

Even in High School, when I was (I now realize) well within the healthy weight range for my height, all I saw was a fat girl. A fat, ugly girl. My story is not unlike anyone else's here. I am not a…
