For many years I've dealt with my parents nagging and badgering me about my weight. Even when I was skinny they still made jokes or comments about me being or becoming over weight, and about the stretch marks I've had. No matter what I felt because of all those things that I wasn't beautiful. My weight and stretch marks defied me and what they labeled me as was ugly. It hurt me so badly for many years. I still struggle with these feelings today. I do feel like that my parents are the main reason why I feel so self-conscious about myself and my body. For I still have not lost my weight and in addition I've gained much more. Being over weight is such a tough topic for people especially the ones who are, but girls and boys who are over weight don't let your shape or weight define your beauty or handsomeness. God made every one beautiful and attractive he has not made any mistakes. Besides being over weight doesn't mean that you are forever going to be over weight. You have to make a choice to change, and I've decided that it's time for me to change. I encourage you to have determination, goals, and plans on helping you to achieve the weight that you want to be. Everything is possible not impossible. You can do it and I believe in you and me!
