Does everyone have one main thing that's stuck with them through the years when they were overweight? I have several.

The main one for me happened when I was 7, I wasn't a big kid by any means, bordering on skinny, but I did have a belly.

I started ballet classes and I was all for it! Still to this day anything Tulle has my heart. My mum bought me the tutu, slippers and leotard and I was in love. I went to my first class and danced like I was in the nutcracker really I thought this was going to be my life. Anyway after class a couple of the girls teased me about my belly sticking out of my leotard. I cried and never went back to another class. Stayed with me forever. kids can be cruel!

So last weekend I signed up for ballet classes and had my first one in 30 years yesterday. I absolutely adored it. Onto bigger and better things and letting things go!

Hi, Sassafras--and greetings from ACT!

I have a memory from around the same age as well, when I was shopping for school clothes with my mother. We could never seem to find pants that fit me right. A sales clerk said the problem was pants that fit me in the waist were way too tight around my huge butt. I was self-conscious of my butt for decades after that, which was always disproportionately large for the rest of my body.

Stay safe!

Hello! Nice to see another Aussie here.

Funny what sticks with us from childhood.

Actually, I'm a permanent resident from the U.S. living in Canberra--but you will find quite a few Aussies here.

It’s good to know a few Aussie’s (US Aussie transfers) to know what products people are buying. We can’t always get the US ones here.
