My Struggle With Weight

My storry i guess.

  Ever since I was a young girl I've struggled with my weight. Part of it was
due to not knowing what I was doing by eating, and also part of it was
due to just pure ignorance on my part. I've been overweight all my life and
I've never known what it was like to be the normal, skinny person in
school.
  Due to my weight I've been teased all my life. Being a mere child being
called countless names of mockery was hard, and definitely something that's
made me the person I am today. For those of you that are skinny, just so
you know it isn't fun being overweight. You have to deal with constantly
thinking you're ugly, not good enough, and just somethings wrong with you.
The worst is the feeling of knowing that you're different from mostly
everyone and people will treat you differently because of that.
  Yes being overweight isn't healthy, but that isn't a reason to mock someone
over it. It's hard enough as is just knowing we have a problem. I promise
you when you call someone "fat" you can't be motivating them to go lose weight
or something. If anything, you're just giving them another reason to feel
horrible and hopeless.

  For those of you that also think obese people never try to lose weight and
can't accomplish anything, you're just flat out ignorant. If anything they
accomplish more than most.

  With all the names I get called behind my back, honestly it has made me try harder to be healthy and to lose weight. It has made me look at things differently. I know I can turn my life around and change the things I am doing wrong.

  I've never liked being overweight, but it has made me who I am today. I
don't not liking being over weight because of the way I look, but because
of the unhealthiness of it and the utter fact it's hard to live being so
different. However, it's taught me to not judge a book by it's cover and to
learn to ignore what people say. It's made me emotionally strong and if
anything made me look at things differently. I'm proud of who I am
and just because someone is different doesn't mean you should tear them
down.
