Introduction

As a little girl I always thought I was perfect.My family always told me I was the most beautiful young lady they have ever laid their eyes on.Fat was never a word used freely in my home.It was not until the third grade that I realized I was "different" from my peers.Being plus size has shown me many things in life,it is almost like we have to live our romantic life on the down low.The same way alot of gay men in our society do today.Im tired of men saying that im pretty to be thick or big.Im a woman, why can't I just be beautiful?Being over weight is almost the same as being an alien.It is sad but true.Many people say well if you don't like your weight do something about it.But what if it is deeper then that?Some people are so ignorant that they don't understand being over weight can be genetically transmitted or transmittable from parent to offspring.The same person you are teasing can be the same person that eats when they are depressed,causing you to be a factor to their obesity.This is a serious problem in the world today.Anytime people are taking their own life just because they are trying to impress others is a major issue.Have you ever noticed that if a mother has two children and one is over weight and the other is not,that the over weight child gets treated differently?Even in our toddlers television programs being larger is always frowned upon.It is a new year and we all can make a difference today and it starts with young america.Teach your young relatives that beauty is NOT only skin deep and start the fight against bullying today!Please leave comments and feedback.

  1. Great first post girl! Though I do not have children, I know that I will be that over protective parent because I know I how cruel kids can be with teasing. I think that if parents teach their children that everyone is different and it's ok to be different, then we wouldn't have all this bullying. LOL, but getting started with the parents is a whole other topic! But anyway, usually bullys are unhappy with themselves or situation which is why they do what they do.

  3. Ok now I really love the way you've written this my weight has been shifty for years. In high school and a few years beyond, I remember moving to Grand rapids, Mi. I joined job corp and continued my studies. I must have been 18. I was so uncomfortable just walking the halls going from class to class. I remember that I was very thin, a size 4 to be exact. I was so sick and tire of hearing..."She's pretty, but her body is wack man! She's too skinny." I heard this most of my teen years from relatives, my mom, church folk. Moral of the story....Its sad how so many people, can contribute to your behavior, such as over eating or what ever the behavior, just to look up and those same people, plus some more are yet still complaining. Umph, umph, umph. Sad!!! Keep going...I love it!!!
