I have been overweight most of my life. Luckily I never experienced any bullying while I was in school. I just remember one time while I was in high school a girl asked me while we were changing in the locker rooms “what is that” pointing at my stretch marks on my stomach that are a reddish purple color. I didn’t know if she was being serious so I just looked at her confused and told that they are stretch marks. Then she proceeds to ask me how I got them. And I said “ it’s because I’m fat and the skin on stomach stretched”. After that she didn't ask any more questions but I sometimes wonder if she wanted me to react differently to her comment. Like was it supposed to make me feel bad. Also when she asked me this I was comfortable with my body but if it was at a different time in my life I probably would have felt bad and I would have taken the comment differently.

She probably just didn't know. Probably wanted to make sure you weren't cutting. Back when I was in high school I never changed in the locker room I always wore sweatpants under my jeans. I've been fat ever since birth and the last couple years I've pretty much feel like I doubled in size. I don't see what the big deal about being fat is. Our parents fed us good and usually fat people are stronger. I don't see an issue with that.
ReplyWhen this happened I was in 11th grade and I was about a year clean from cutting (sadly I did break it in the next year)and most of my scars had turned white but I see how the marks could look like scars. I was just a bit shocked when it happened. Also my friends did know of my cutting but I told them that same year when i fist got clean and they would check up on me and they still do.
ReplyBeing fat means that your internal organs, heart and lungs have to work harder to maintain bodily functions. It puts too much unnecessary strain on them. There's parameters for healthy and normal body weights, which take into account biological sex and height. Being underweight or overweight limits life expectancy and general health. Average weight is always the aim for the healthiest life possible.
