My Story:

Throughout my childhood I was ALWAYS very tiny for my age that is until I hit about 14-15 years old. I went from a kids size 10-12 to an adult size 1/2 in a matter of a year and I became very uncomfortable in my own skin. Granted a size 1/2 is still 'itty bitty' it was a big change for me then. Healthy eating wasn't a priority in my house so I kept on eating like I always did and kept on gaining more weight! I played field hockey in high school but besides the fall season I pretty much sat around a lot. At 16 I decided I wanted to join the Army so I called a recruiter but since I wasn't 17 yet she couldn't talk to me. My 17th birthday was 6 months away so I waited and my recruiter called me on my 17th birthday. A week later I was taking my ASVAB and heading up to MEPS for my physical. Unknowingly, to me I had reached 145lbs which I feel was a lot for my 5'1' frame and the Army thought so too! I had to lose weight and I went about it all the wrong ways...diet pills, not eating, throwing up....whatever I could do to pass my physical. I dropped down to 120lbs by the end of my senior year but I wasn't healthy. I left for basic training and AIT where I had to eat and still made the wrong food choices so although I was getting my butt kicked 7 days a week and working out all the time I gained 15 pounds while I was in training. THEN the worst thing happened the Army sent a young girl off to Germany where she could drink and do whatever she damn well pleased. I like to consider Germany the craziest years of my life that I will never remember. I ate microwave meals, hot pockets, onion rings, fried chicken, hot dogs, wonderfully unhealthy german dishes, and drank lots and lots of alcohol. It was no wonder I failed my first PT test I took after arriving in Germany. I ballooned back up to 145+ and I just couldn't quite understand how come none of my pants fit anymore.

I got deployed to Iraq in Sept 2005 and finally I could clear my head away from alcohol and fast food. I worked 12 hour shifts 6 days a week and everyday I went to the gym for at least 2 hours (I was a fanatic) even when I was exhausted I forced myself to go. I'm not sure exactly how much weight I lost while I was there but it was at least 20lbs. I was 125 when I returned from Iraq and eventually got out of the Army. But I still hadn't broken this never ending cycle of weight loss/weight gain... I moved to Oklahoma and Kyle and I bought a house.. Soon after he got his orders to go back to Iraq AGAIN for 15 months. I was nervous, scared, depressed so I ate and we drank A LOT...trying to live it up before he left and just being young 20-something year olds. I was so miserable with life right before he left... I hated the way I looked, I hated that he was leaving... I hated that I was being left alone in a state where I knew no one. And then I got off my 'poor me' train and decided to make changes... I bought 'clean' food.. started taking my lovely puppies for walks and fixing up our house. He left in July 2007 and I weighed approx 140 by the time he came home on leave in Feb 2008 I was 109lbs but a healthy 109 lbs.

I decided to get a BA in November 2007 I went from a 34a/b to a 34 full C. It was kind of a sudden decision and I didn't think about it too much until I had actually paid for it. I love my new boobs and so does Kyle! There's a lot of haters out there that think its a dumb idea but most of those girls were born already well endowed so who knows if they were in my shoes or anyone else's that had a BA what they would do! I ended up with 300 CC silicone unders through the breast crease incision.

I joined the gym in March after Kyle left from being home on leave because I decided I wanted maintain my new figure. Kyle and I have talked about and decided that when he gets back from Iraq for good that we're going to do our best as couple to eat right and be active together. He and I are really at a  turning point in our life where it's time to grow up and focus on the important things. I've pretty much maintained my weight between 110-115 since December. I don't plan on losing anymore weight!
