Since Stop Hating Your Body isn’t accepting submissions right now, I figured I’d make this post on my own blog. Enjoy! :)

Hi. I’m Elizabeth, I’m 16 years old, 5’3”, and overweight. I’ve been on the bigger side basically my whole life. All throughout elementary and middle school I’ve been teased because of it. I realized that people only wanted to be friends with pretty, skinny girls. In 8th grade, I lost contact with a lot of the people I thought I had made friends with the first year of junior high, and it only got worse from there. As I started putting on more weight, less people accepted me. By 9th grade (the last year of junior high here), I had lost almost all of my friends and was left with only two people that I knew really liked me for my personality. Because of my experiences, I’ve learned that people will not get to know what’s underneath your appearance if they are turned off by what they see on the outside. It’s a pathetic society we live in, really. But now that I’m a junior, almost a senior, in high school, I’ve stopped caring about the people who don’t like me just because I’m a bit chubbier than them. I used to get to the point where I’d starve myself because I wanted to be just like the girls who got all the attention. I’d work out excessively and never eat because I was so obsessed with the idea of having friends. Now that I’ve grown up and matured, I can say that I no longer care about what people think of me. I’m going to live my life to please myself, not to please others. If people don’t like me because of the way I look, then they don’t deserve to be in my life, simple as that. I can’t say that I’m completely happy with the way that I look, and if I decide to do something about it, it’ll be because I want to change, not because other people want me to change. I don’t love my body yet, but I’ve stopped looking in the mirror and pointing out all my flaws because I know it won’t change them. This body was given to me for a reason. I’m me, I only have one body, and I’m going to love it while I still can.
