I was Body Shammed For My Weight

Hello everyone. First of all, I want to thank this platform because I can share my personal story with you here. My story depends on being overweight. I am a student of class 7th standard and shifted to a new school this year. It was hard to share feelings and emotions with my family for being overweight. I can’t share even with my mom also. When I got this platform on the internet I saw some hope in sharing my story of being bullied due to my weight with you guys.

As you might know how a person feels when someone makes fun because of being overweight. When I am going to school, I meet with my friends and classmate. They started making fun of me because I am an overweight student in my class. Some of the students used to make this kind of bullying to get attention from other’s students who are famous in my class. None of my classmates wants to play with me.  No one likes me. No one sharer lunch with me. No one is going to share class notes with me. I always feel alone, angry, frustrated, and upset. I am facing ashamed not only in the classroom but also in relatives, parties, and other ceremony functions.  I always get negative vibes about being overweight. I am not able to concentrate on my study. I am getting depressed about being overweight. Sometimes I just look at myself in the mirror and start crying, shouting at myself. I am sick and tired less because of the weight more due to shaming and daily stress. Am I just blaming myself for why I am not like a normal girl? I am tired of feeling ashamed every day.

This dilemma continued till November, however my mom was noticing my anxiety and finally, one day she asked me out and I started explaining the situation. I was talking and crying and she was listening and smiling and calming me down while I spoke. Then, she consoled me and guided me for how to handle a situation like this and how to deal with the weight problem. At that time I understood that it is my challenge to lose weight and fix things up.  I looked at myself in a mirror with a positive attitude and decided to get rid of the extra weight. I told to my mom to make an appointment with the doctor for weight loss, nutrition diets, and what exercise I should do. I got the appointment on the same day we met with the doctor and he recommended me to a dietician for help with meal planning. On there I got that weight loss can be aided by a better diet, more physical activity, and behavioral changes.  I followed all the diets and did yoga on time as the doctor said to me. My mom wakes me up early in the morning for a morning walk and yoga. I started to work-out as well.

After one month I could see my body changing. After dieting when I went to school, all of my classmates started treating me better. They noticed the changes in my body and attitude and they changed their behavior with me. Now I have good friends in my class and the bullying is also stopped. I can enjoy myself with my relatives and ceremony functions. Fitness matters for your good health. Now I am better concentrated on my studies and performing with better result in the class. Everyone likes me and sharing notes with me they also play with me. They also shared lunch with me. I am happy to accept these challenges in my life to weight loss. This was one of the best struggling parts of my life so far. Weight loss can improve and prevent health issues.

I love accepting challenges now any problems in front of me, I am able to face them. I am Thankful to my dear lovely classmate and friends for teasing me for being overweight. Thanks for your time. I thank this platform too. You gave me a chance to share my story. I am very happy for sharing my personal story with you hope you also loved my story. Thank you so much for giving me this platform.
