Self-Esteem

I was made fun of a lot growing up.  I was a chubby kid and was teased.  I also wear my emotions on my sleeve.  So when people made fun of me, I reacted.  I learned to make it into a joke and laugh about it.  If I didn't, they would keep teasing me.

I do not know what it would be like to not be fat.  It has been such a part of my identity.  As I am losing weight, I am realizing how free it feels.  Now, I am more confident in myself.  I do have my moments where I do not feel like I am good enough, but I have come a long way physically and emotionally these last 4 months.

I don't know what it will be like to be a fit and slim person. I am excited to find out.
