I Struggle With My Body Image

All my life I was tormented with body for not being thin enough by people around me. It all started with my toxic so called best friends, the guys I dated, co workers and even my relatives. I was not even overweight back then. It's not like I haven't tried to lose weight. Even when I work out people make fun of me and criticizing the way I run or lift weight. It's like not being thin is a crime. At the start of the year, I successfully was able to loose few pounds and people started 'accepting' me and I fell ill suddenly. I couldn't work out anymore and I was confined to my room. This resulted putting up more pounds than I had ever before and so did taunting. When I started going back to the old workout regime, people still find something to make fun of my weight including my own grandmother who recently moved into my home for a couple of days. As soon as she stepped in, she made cruel jokes like how did I managed to be fat in few months without eating much. This resulted me staying outside home till nightfall because I can't endure her till she leaves after new year. Yes, my new year is ruined. All I wanted to say, people gain or lose weight for reasons they can't control. If you don't have nothing better to say, just keep silence and mind your business.

Don't mind what others say. Don't mind what your friends say. They are not you.
Focus on yourself. People say a few things and leave. Just work out on yourself. You will find yourself improving constantly even when being a few pounds here and there is not a big deal.
