You want to be appreciated for who you are no matter what your weight is. I understand I too have battled with weight issues. Now my 10-year-old niece is very heavy and I have to bite my tongue to say not anything about her weight or eating habits. It just bothers me that her youth will be more difficult for her .  Kids are mean.

Try to focus on self love and not looking outwards for approval. I know that’s easier said than done it takes some work. Try to remember that other peoples actions  and comments arent just about you, it’s about them. Try to think of forgiving them and let go of The negative feelings you have. They serve you no purpose. Remember we are all worthy. But if it would make you feel better perhaps write them a letter telling them how you feel?

Smokers light up knowing it can kill them but feel they can’t quit. Alcoholics drink. It’s about numbing feelings, trying to fill a void.
