I Will Just Laugh With Them
Tuesday, June 8th, 2010I was a fat kid growing up. Until now, I haven’t shed all my baby fats successfully. Although I am feeling a lot of peer pressure especially now that I am already in high school, I still can’t stop myself to stop eating sometimes. Food gives me more comfort than anything in the world. In school, I became a laughing stock of almost everybody. Although it hurts, and I also hope that I can do something about it, something in my system just encourages me to eat more when I am being teased by other people.
One day, I woke up and I decided to not being affected by other people’s comments anymore. I decided to embrace who I really am, and be proud of what I have. When I felt that I got all the courage I need, I decided to buy statement t shirts that would express how I find my weight more of an asset than a liability. Good thing I found a funny t shirt that reads: “Fat People are Hard to Kidnap!” If they will continue to make fun of me, I will just laugh with them. I won’t be a coward little chicken anymore.
