I have been overweight since I was eight.
I have heard it all, from family and friends, from strangers, from church members, most of these people are bullies who seek to make others look small, and some are people who, though genuinely caring, need to learn the art of communication.

All in all, I'm still big. I try to eat healthy for health's sake, and because I want to be able to do more, but I know I am beautiful.
If someone can't see that there's a lack of beauty in him or her, as beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.

Thank you for this.
