You are amazing to share! My experience was so similar to yours except I shrank back into nothingness and prayed to never be noticed by anyone. Never participated in anything. Never chased a dream. Never accomplished anything. But God… in all of his love he brought me a husband and we have a family. Now I’m fighting for me… to live life before it’s my time to leave. I’m 60 and praying to see success. Dealing with the emotional part is necessary, but most people don’t understand, but I believe you are on the right track! I watched a video of yours from 4 yrs after this one… you have gained so much strength! ❤
OMG you are describing my childhood. Kids at school were so horrible to me. Sadly I weighed much less then I do now. If only I weighed that now I would be so happy. I have never gone to high school reunion cause of this. I missed out on so much because of my weight (like you). Food is an addition. It is a way of coping with life. We need to learn to handle pain and fear without eating. Love your channel I just found it. God Bless.
Thank you for sharing your story. I was searching for my son. He's 10, and says kids are mean to him for being overweight. I grew up the opposite. I was very tall and underweight. I'm 40 now, took many years for me to fill out. I never thought my son would experience this. He just started putting on the weight in recent years. What makes me feel bad for him is how you never forget how people treat you. We eat very healthy with some treats or unhealthy snacks here and there. We also are very active together. Breaks my heart but I will love and support him no matter what.
He’ll never forget the way kids treat him but it’s going to make him stronger! Especially when he has your kind of love and support! I love that you are active together!
I was bullied being too skinny and too tall, well, now, I still thin and tall and live in a beautiful country, have a beautiful family and that bully apologizing. You are a beautiful woman. I know it difficult to forget, and we never will. I also had some friends who would take me as I am. And in Russia back there, we didn't have any help to deal with anxiety, and I just skip school and stay home - at my safe place.
Bullying is definitely a very real thing and can affect someone in the worst ways. And they will always find something wrong, doesn’t matter what you look like. But we are all so beautiful in our own way!
I was on the other end of the weight spectrum when I was growing up (a skinny kid). I was never really scrawny as a child, but I was always on the slender side. I was also on the taller end (well, until high school, because I was also an early bloomer). I did not have many problems with other people, like some slender kids did, probably mainly because I always looked healthy, and never scrawny. However, I recall when I was about 10 or 11, my mom made it clear that I needed to eat better, and I thought that meant she thought I was fat, even though I was not. I realize that she probably thought I just needed to eat healthier foods, but at such a sensitive age, I jumped to conclusions, even though I continued eating my normal quantities. I even remember at that age, looking in the bathroom mirror, and seeing my thighs coming up to just below my breasts. I had been tellingbothers, "youndont need to be thin to be beautiful," and , "don't try to lose weight unless your doctor says you need to." I think many of them believed me, because I was thin. When I went off to college in Vermont in 2011, I started to worry about gaining weight. I was so worried about it that I did whatever I could to not gain anyweight, and in fact, ended up losing weight during my first year of college. I was probably even on the verge of being scrawny. One thing that did used to piss me off was when people (who were probably very well meaning) told me, "you've got to eat, you're too skinny!". But this was really one of the only problems I have ever had surrounding this. I simply do not eat when I am not hungry, and am a slow eater, and proud of it!
