my strugles with obesity

all my life i have had problems with my weight and it was not nice growing up being labelled as the fat girl when people talk about me. Today i sow a girl she is in high school she reminded me of myself she looked so miserable and right there i could feel her pain. I have not lost weight and honestly i have given up on loosing weight and i dont know whether it is because of the fear i have of what i would look like thin would i look better or worse. I wish that i had spent my childhood life bettter than i did but i didnt because all the children that were my age looked so small and i looked so old cause i was fat and tall. I am now 20 years old and yes i still have those insecurities but now that i am grown i have learned a lot about me as person and that what i look like on the outside doesnt define me. We live in a world where your beauty as a human being is defined by the clothes u wear the struture of your body and i know that people my size are labelled ugly. I feel for the children that are still growing up and are experiencing these weight issues becouse they have no one to tell them you look beautiful just the way you are." I am not changing who i am for anyone and if you cant accept me just the way i am then walk away because am a beautiful person." That is a positive thinking we should teach the young ones and what defines beauty.
