Growing up in La Jolla 70 pounds overweight brought out some interesting reactions from people. Most not very nice. As a teenager I was teased, ridiculed and bullied. Self esteem was very delicate. Now at 58, I have learned from very supportive teachers, friends and my husband of 30 years to love myself. I can spot a bully pretty easily and know exactly how the recipient of such hatred feels. I am in decent shape now, eat well and am healthy. My sons are in college and hubby and I are leaving for Hawaii on the 29th for ten days. I am bringing my surfboard. I am grateful for the home we have since we were married, I am grateful for the wonderful family I married in to, I am grateful to be at peace with those who have hurt me. The last two reunions had friends there who will not be at this one. Hubby and I have an event Saturday and would only be able to stop by the faculty club for a short time so we have not purchased tickets. I cant help but wonder how my life growing up in La Jolla would have been had I not been so overweight. Maybe I would have gotten to know more people in my class. Maybe they would have treated me differently. 40 years, wow.
