Fatty Chp. 1

Have you every been bullied? Are you currently being bullied? Ever been bullied because of your weight? Ever since I could remember, I was never below 200 pounds. Growing up I was always referred to as the "fat kid", "peanut butter", "fat ass" or simply and most notably, "fatty". (This is the part where everyone laughs). I never particularly cared to tell my parents because a.) they would go absolutely crazy if they found out that people called me those names and b.) I didn't want to make a big deal out of it. So I just allowed it to continue. Just like I allowed myself to go home every night and cry. And how I allowed myself to never socialize because I never thought that I was "good enough".  And how I allowed myself to eat and eat myself into a coma. But this story isn't just about me. If any of this sounds like you, then I encourage you to keep reading. This is for you, my friend. I totally understand it: being overweight and bullied is no fun. But while it may seem that there are only dark days ahead, trust me: there is some light along the way. Understand that it gets better. Understand that you do have a life ahead of you and people will eventually see you for the awesome person that you are. Understand that for me, please?
