"So I am currently a second year student at Univeristy of Ottawa... and a little person...
Unfortunately I am only tall enough to reach the most fatty foods in the cafeteria line,
which results in the a few extra pounds.
I was at 95 pounds entering my first year. But I realized when it came to christmas holidays I was a whopping 115 pounds!
I tried to lose it for spring break but no luck. I just ended up gaining 10 more pounds.
To be 125 pounds and suffering from dwarfism is shameful to my family and myself.
But luckily with their support (and that of a new step built in the cafeteria)
I am at a healthy weight of 106 pounds!"
