8: birth
50: kindergarten
99: 5th grade, winter break. i remember worrying about hitting 100. haha.
130: 6th grade, winter break. my aunt from korea moves in for 6 months to care for us after my mom passes- her plan is to help heal the heart with homecooking... lots and lots of it. tallest girl in class at 5'5
130: 7th grade. look a lot thinner because i've grown 3 inches over the past year to 5'8- the fat spreads more evenly over my body
140: driving test on my 16th birthday. i lie and tell them 134
142: high school graduation. 2 hours of ballet 6x/week. 4+ hours of swim practice 6x/week. 2+ hours of water polo practice 6x/week. I am lean, my body muscular and fit and at my full height of 5'10
169: Freshman 15 turns into Freshman almost 30. God damn diet of cup of noodle+red bull+candy 24/7. I stop ballet, swim, any physical activity outside of keg standing+guzzling. It's a sport, didn't you know?
155: high scchool sweetheart and I break up, winter of 2000 . I forget to eat for a few weeks
169: 21st birthday. boyfriend at the time tells me i'm the hottest girl in the whole wide world, all the time. I am insecure but choose to believe him and am happy chubby.
160: We break up. I work out nightly until...
165: start dating thk. There are many late nights out with friends and excessive amounts of beer chugging. the weight slowly creeps onto my stomach, arms, thighs...
175-178: depressed about my professional life and spend a lot of time munching. elated with my personal life and spend a lot of time drinking and eating out with thk and friends. make room so that red licorice, a bag of chips, and a bag of japanese gummy candies have their own drawer in my work desk
180: give two month notice at work
185: last day of work
170: after Vietnam- lots of not that yummy grub, lots of hiking and trekking
172: after Thailand- lots of insanely delicious grub, lots of walking
175: after China- lots of family there, lots of huge meals
176: after Korea- more family, dad
172: after Japan- everything costs a million dollars, lots of walking
171: arrive home
163: ......
170: engagement day
173: see my arms in 3-way mirrors while trying on wedding gowns. find out 8-10 street size is 16 bridal size.
175: after thanksgiving
173: make deposit on a wedding dress... size 14.
168: today, after eating better and working out an 1-1.5hrs, 5-7/week for the past 3 weeks.
goal: 155 by july 2008- the right way.
due to my height, i can hide more weight easier than most so even thk, as familiar with my body as i am, was shocked (and totally started to laugh and called me a liar!) to hear i hit 185 before my trip.
i've never been honest about this, ever. guess there's no hiding from it once i post.

numbers! and good luck on the weight loss!
i know you can do it.
kudos to you for your honesty. i can't even remember what i weigh in elementary school!
nabine's right, you're a statuesque goddess!
i was up at ungodly hours to get to the gym by 5am. and i love sleep. LOVE!
eat healthy. buy veggie trays and much on those through out the day. shabu shabu is pretty healthy if you skip most of the rice. home made breakfast burritos with egg beaters, low carb tortillas, diced tomatoes + avocado, and a bit of scriacha is awesome. ;) coffee with milk + splenda. no juices/sodas. drink lots of green tea + water.
good luck!
hoorah on the exercising! and the extra gym membership! now you have no excuse. :)
ps - sex is exercise in my book.
i agree with everyone here. dooode, you're tall. you are a goddess! beautiful no matter what the # is.
You go girl!!!! Start eating breakfast missy...every morning!
once again....man, you are tall!! :)
i'm quite impressed with you for telling us all your history with weight and also your current status. i'm finally at a point in my life where i can state my weight out loud without cringing inside.
i've always been chubby and weight is usually an issue for most women but i think it's esp. hard when you are asian.
i still have korean relatives who ask my mom if i'm still fat. the last they saw me was when i was like 9. *lol*
OMG.. You are taller than me! I'm 5'8".. and Girl.. I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT. For your height of 5'10".. if you get to 160, you will look super TRIM (if not already).
You're brave for posting up your numbers.. if I ever have the guts to do it.. I'll share the "good fight" with you and put my numbers up too.. I'm on a quest to lose 5-8 pounds by April this year for my Paris trip.
