I am almost 13, 5’6″, and about 200 pounds. All of my friends tell me that I am not fat, but I already know I am. There are boys at school that say that I am fat, but only in so many words. Lots of people have told me that I am fat and then had taken it back. There was even an adult who once called me fat in front of my grandfather ,and he didn’t even stick up for me and I was only about 8-10 years old. Now all my friends do is tell me how beautiful I am and that they know that I am not a “twig” but I am not fat. The reality of this situation is that I am, I am obese and I know it.
