Dec 2003: 20 years ago this month I set out on a journey. I had tried to resist, suppress, deny the need I had to get out of that skinny body, but I couldn't do it anymore.

I don't think that thin person knew exactly what they were in for, that they'd double their weight in the first 5 years, triple in 10, and more than 4x, being well over 800 would have been unthinkable
