Summer 1997, at my “small” size. I was wearing probably 4s and 6s that summer — with all the skydiving (I went every weekend), I kept *forgetting* to eat. Once I stopped jumping regularly, I crashed hard physically — didn’t gain a bunch of weight (maybe 10 pounds), but mentally, I dropped into my first major depression. Adrenaline resistance, anyone?

Halloween 2002, pre-baby. This gives a reasonable idea of what my “normal” (but not thin) size was before having a child. I was comfortably wearing an 8, and that seems to suit my frame well.
For some of the scarier pictures (read: immediately post baby), keep reading.
