What’s wrong with being an overweight child?
Why was I, as a 6 or 7 year old, subjected to talk like,
“Stop eating. You’re fat.”
I went to a nutritionist before I even turned 10 to help me lose weight.
I tried a hundred different diets.
Maybe one out of every ten would work a little.
Anxiety and stress made me stubborn.
I lost and gained weight frequently,
Which ruined my body.
Stretch marks appeared,
And my self-confidence plummeted.
I wasn’t even 15 at the time.
My mother should have told me to pick up a sport,
Instead of telling me to lose weight.
Parents try to realize their own unaccomplished dreams through their children.
