Me too. In 4th grade. I was going through a phase.

If I had been in another grade, I would have probably have been a nerd. I was smart, in the band (sort of) and in choir. However, in junior high (7th grade), cheerleaders, jocks were in choir. In a strange way, in sort of bonded us all. When we reached high school, most of them dropped out of choir but a lot still took band. My best friend and I were the majorettes (not thin, not pretty but could twirl a baton LOL). Classes above and below us had the status quo but for some reason, my year didn't. One guy was very religious and would play his guitar singing religious songs on the lawn at lunch time. You'd think he'd be an easy target but they treated him like every one else. I knew at the time our year was different but it took many years later to realize just how different we were.

I thought I was fat and hid under big coats and sweaters. I honestly laugh at it now when I look back at pictures. On any h/w chart I ranged between the low and middle part of the healthy weight range most of my teens. I went through two overweight phases - one when I was 9 and one when I was 13. Very typical during adolescence but despite the fact that they were only brief phases, that's how I identified for many years. When I got to college and no one knew me from those years I was magically considered normal weight!
