Fat and Ugly--A Rant

[derdriui]

there's something really charismatic about you... ever consider doing theatre?

I used to be extremely thin and recently became like, OBESE over a 1 year period! In about 5 months I put on 43 lbs. I didn't change my diet or anthing so I have no idea lol. Not too happy about it, in fact, i'm pretty insecure and feel quite inferior to those who are at a healthy weight. I remember when I was a child too, thinking I was fat and ugly. I'd look at the other girls and wished I was them and that caused me to be very shy and reserved. Looking back now, I think I may have had OCD.

i feel fat and ugly right now. UGH

I started feeling fat in the 6th grade I might make a video response do you still get on YouTube?

[SUpersaiyajinjerkbag]

Oh, I thought this was an Ayn Rand critique

I don't really remember any particular time, but I've basically felt fat all my life. Of course, I never really have been fat... but that's where the eating disorder comes in...

I was maybe ten pounds above normal weight as a teenage. Never really cared that much until I went to visit my dad and he had a big article from the newspaper stuck on the fridge for me to see: "Watching TV makes teenage girls fat".

Thanks dad. I stayed at home and watched tv because I was new to the neighborhood and I was shy and kids at school picked on me because of it.

Now I realize that even my dad thinks I'm worthless.

I did a presentation on Cuban Americans a few weeks ago, and I understand that culture a little better.

And you know I don't think in this culture we are socialized to like each other very much, or to be kind to each other. At all. And I'm about to move lol. It's not like this everywhere in the world. And this video is making me cry, because I can identify so much. A lot of other people can too.

I like it when you make videos.

Junior high school

[angienicholas]

thank you for sharing. I had most of these thoughts since about grade 5 or 6 was teased all the time about how I looked and my weight and in grade 10 high school I started losing weight not always healthy but I lost it and kept it off for the most part. then gained again once I met my husband, and have been trying to lose it ever since

[7llazaren]

but something deep inside told you as a young girl that you are beautiful, that you are smart.....I'm a perfect stranger and I can see your beauty inside and out

[wdanda]

Sarsy, thanks for you video, it's important to share our feeling of being a fat kid and how that affected our current lives... I personally remember the day I crossed the 100kg mark when I was like 16 years old, what a sad day, I will never forget what I felt that day. Please keep sharing, it help all of us. Thanks!

I think most people were at that stage growing up and now or eventually speaking up about their mind and feelings. But hey, We all grow out of it eventually.

Around grade 3 so 8 or 9 years old.

[rockieroxy]

i remember being fat all my life. i probably noticed it around 7 the most, because my two younger sisters were so thin, and I wasn't. I've always been told I have a pretty face but that I need to lose weight. you are beautiful and don't let anyone make you feel or tell you otherwise. What a messed up friend, that's really messed up.

I was probably about 5 or 6, and my real mother started calling me Miss piggy...

[iamhereanditsucks]

I've been the biggest person in class my entire life, not so much in university but it still happens. Since I was always the biggest one kids always felt the need to tell me.

The first time I felt fat was when I was 5 years old. I was in the bath tub and my mom was on the phone to my aunt talking about how I have stretch marks on my stomach. I asked my brother later on "what are stretch marks?" He said "It means you're fat."

[erikka1212]

Thank you so much for sharing this! I think so many kids especially nowadays are being taught to equate fat with worthless and its so so sad.

I remember in first grade this boy called me a fat bitch and it just hit me like a ton of bricks. That's the first distinct memory I have of thinking i was fat

[planetsparky]

amazing video. Very thought provoking.

[yelserp2]

wow, that kid sounds like one little f'ed up manipulative piece of work.

[JamieSnyderTV]

You're gorgeous!
