I was just a CHILD. I didn’t even know what “perfect” meant But people had ALREADY decided I wasn’t it.
The comments started early—on my FACE, my WEIGHT, my BODY.
And slowly, I started to BELIEVE them. I STOPPED eating. I lived on SALADS and WATER. I worked out until I was EXHAUSTED—not to be strong, but to DISAPPEAR.
Eventually, I became SKINNY. And for a moment, I thought I had “won.” But deep down, I was TIRED. I was HUNGRY. I was HURTING.
So I started EATING again. I felt ALIVE again. And yes, I gained weight. I became CHUBBY. And guess what? The COMMENTS came back.
Even TODAY, I still hear people TALK about me. Some LAUGH quietly. Some don’t even try to WHISPER. It STILL hurts. Because no matter how much I changed, I was NEVER “enough” for them. But I’m DONE letting their words define my WORTH.
This body has carried me through every BATTLE, every BREAKDOWN, every silent night when I just wanted to be INVISIBLE. I’ve had to REBUILD the confidence they BROKE . Piece by painful PIECE.
So if you’ve ever looked in the mirror and felt like you don’t belong If you’ve ever been made to feel ashamed of your body .
PLEASE KNOW THIS: YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
And you don’t need to become SMALLER to be LOVED.
This isn’t just a post. It’s the part of me I NEVER said out loud. And maybe… someone out there needed to hear it TODAY.
EDIT: this post is not for sympathy but to spread awareness that how effected a persons life can be by your words . PLEASE BE KIND TO OTHERS THEY ARE HUMAN TOO . HOPE THIS POST HELPS SOMEONE .

I’ve been body shamed since I was around 7 or 8.
I was just a CHILD. I didn’t even know what “perfect” meant But people had ALREADY decided I wasn’t it.
The comments started early—on my FACE, my WEIGHT, my BODY.
And slowly,
I started to BELIEVE them.
I STOPPED eating.
I lived on SALADS and WATER.
I worked out until I was EXHAUSTED—not to be strong,
but to DISAPPEAR.
Eventually, I became SKINNY.
And for a moment, I thought I had “won.”
But deep down, I was TIRED. I was HUNGRY. I was HURTING.
So I started EATING again. I felt ALIVE again.
And yes, I gained weight.
I became CHUBBY.
And guess what?
