Thinking about my body
I just had a comment
That I am way to fat
Its not like I don’t know it already
Yet it hurts even more for some reason

I think about
Since I am fat
Why I think I could even get a boyfriend
How I could ever get treated like any of my friends
I think about how uncomfortable I feel
At times because I am the only fat person
Out of my friends
How uncomfortable it is to be around them sometimes

I sit there trying to figure out
When they say they are fat
How they can think that
How when they say I am skinny
What makes them think I am that gullible?
I know they don’t really mean it
That they only say it to be nice

It's very ugly for someone to call anyone fat.
it's not the size of a persons body but it's the luv in their heart.
U should jus be yourself no matter what. U sound pretty young. Luv yourself and be true to u.
luv, huggs,
emy

well everyone is different and they compare everyone else. comparisons are never fair so i just try to get them out of my life as much as possible, but they never go away. people use them to make themselves look better and to criticize. no one is happy with who they are fully and are critical. why care what other people think or say? they are only trying to make themselves feel better or not feeling guilty. and who wants to give them that when they dont even deserve it!? hah, anger issues =]

If you're overflowing with anything, it's kindness. Thank you for your cool comments! I'll be checking more of your works.
Take care, and thanks again.

If God wanted everyone to be the same, he would've made us all over weight. You are beautiful, be it heavy or thin, black or white or brown.
One of God's greatest gifts was that he made us all different. Instead of judging one another, we should be admiring the things that make us unique and stand out.
Do not ever be disgusted by yourself. I think the most important thing physically is to feel healthy. If you do, it doesn't matter what you weigh.

Take care,
Lizzie
