I AM FAT!

I am fat! Yes, I said it, "I am fat." I weigh more than the BMI tells me I am allowed to weigh. It makes me fat. I also love writing, I am reader, student, debater, speaker, and so much more than just fat. I am beautiful and I believe it. I didn't believe I was beautiful when I was smaller. It took me to be at my heaviest and my fittest in order to realize that simple fact. I am beautiful. 

The number on the scale is not going to make you happy. You have to choose to be truly happy with yourself. Good grades are not going to make you happy. You have to choose to be happy with the bad grades. That doesn't mean you don't strive for more. When you choose to be happy, you don't let circumstances control you. That is an ultimate victory. I choose to be happy with my body despite the dark marks that are speckled all over my skin, because of eczema. Despite the way my legs jiggle when I walk. Despite the fact I am single. I choose to be happy where I am. I can say I am fat with full confidence that I am also beautiful. One does not negate the other. So what I encourage you to do is be happy where you are. Love yourself. Project that love to the world. 

1 Corinthians 13:4-7

4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5 or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. 6 It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
