Fat.

Who knew that a three-letter word hurt so much.

Sure I wasn't huge, or even overweight. 

I had a paunch.

A stomach. with a little extra belly.

A little extra on the thighs I admit but nothing you would see in the overwheight section.

But that word. 

The F-A-T word

Hurts, even when said in a kind way.

Especially by those close to you

Even when said to help you.

Especially when said to remind you of the fact.

I know okay.

I am aware of that little extra.

I am more than aware.

But that doesn't mean you say I am look fat.

No.

It doesn't mean you can.  

F A T

How I hate that word.
