"Well last year, I began university in another city so I was living in residence. I know it sounds stereotypical, but I never thought it would happen to me.
I was the bane of many girls' existence, it seemed like. They slammed my thinness because I was thin and very sociable, calling me a bimbo (Though I earned high honors).
I wasn't used to having to feed myself and worrying about nutrition as is the usual case, and so I ate poorly. I didn't notice at first, I just always came up with alternate reasons for my clothes being tighter (Shrunk in the wash, the new jeans don't fit because they haven't been "broken in", I just drank a lot and was temporarily bloated, etc).
But then there was the faithful trip home. Apparently I had gained a lot of weight, because my mom kept asking "Are you SURE you want gravy on that dear?"
I went from 115 lbs. to 134! The beer was definitely my Achilles heel, and my stomach had gotten quite ample. I couldn't face my friends they were all thin and pretty and I felt wretched. I have continued to slowly gain weight. I regret my pride now. Don't drink!"
