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.

oh my darling lady!

They can say anything to upset you, but it is you who should not give credit to their unkind words..

Your beauty whether overweight or not, is in your strength, your kind heart, your eyes, your smile and your personality... body is only part of you and if they cannot realize the beauty that you are, it is their loss. Please don't allow it to become yours..

I totally agree with you! Hey jBird don’t let those people in your sphere define you. You don’t have to prove any thing to them or anyone.
Going forward into new New Year spend your time on being your best beautiful self in all that you do. Take love wherever you find it.Remember, only you can make your story right!
