As a young child, I had a pretty bad life. I think this effected the way I grew up and my size also. I was pretty overweight by the time I got to second grade. It never really bothered me then because I was young and somewhat of the bully. I picked on others so I wouldnt be picked on myself. By the summer going into 5th grade, I was starting to realize how unhealthy I was. I lost over 20 pounds that summer before school. Everyone was so impressed because I was young and that was a lot to lose within two months for someone my age. Later that year in 5th grade, my dad died. After that happened, I gained all the weight and plus some back. I used food to cover up my emotions. When I reached 7th grade, I was so upset with myself, that I turned to bad habbits. I hated the way I looked and how I delt with things. As 8th grade approached I started growing up. I was still the “chubby” kid but I had some friends who loved me for me not what I looked like. My freshman year of high school I moved to a different state. This was hard because I knew I wasnt pretty enough to make a lot of friends quickly, but to my suprise I did. It was so different being around these new people and not feeling like I was being judged every second. Now i’m a sophomore in high school. Yes, I am still over weight but you know what? I really love myself. I would love to be super skinny (i think i’ll always want that) but I love myself so much now and I embrace the good and bad in myself. I realized that all the times I tried to “diet” that I was doing it for all the wrong reasons. I just wanted everyone to love me. When the whole time, ive actually loved who i’ve been. Now I have several friends and a boyfriend whom I love dearly. I think this helps alot, but the truth is… You have to love yourself before anyone else will truely love you. No matter what size or any other factor, we are all beautiful. I think that anyone who wants to lose weight should make sure that theyre doing it for all the right reasons and realize that it takes time. You cant rush anything and when you fall, get right back up and keep trying.
