Ever since I was about 12 and puberty set in...I have had weight problems or so I've been led to believe all my life. I've been teased because my hips are wide for years. At one point in my twenties it got to be so bad, that I broke and decided to stop eating and became anorexic. It worked, but I ended up having to go to the doctor for stomach ulcers which were VERY painful. So I had NO choice but to start eating regularly again.
I'm now in my early thirties and the battle continues. Every now and again people make horrible comments and I try to brush it off. But these are people that I know. This morning however, a complete stranger got off his phone and began to hurl insults at me. He asked, first of all, why I was so fat, and wasn't I afraid of my clothes giving way. All I could do was pretend not to hear it and pretend not to feel hurt. But inside I wanted more than anything else to die. I know that there are some who will think that I'm being petty, but until you walk in someone else's shoes don't judge.
