I saw a Facebook quote about "fat girls" and  how their considered "unattractive".
It is truely offesive to be called "fat". I was once "fat", yet I was attractive to people who liked me for me and not just what I looked like. Everyone is beautiful, inside and out. But I wanted to give my story of being "fat" and how I over came it. I was always picked on in school growing up because of my weight. When I started school at 5 years old I was already about 80 pounds. I was always the old one out from my group of friends. I was the abnormally tall for my age, very "fat" for my age, and not the cutest little girl in the world, (I looked more like a boy). My parents knew something was wrong, so they started putting me on diets by age 7, which never made me loose any weight. They even kept me away from all the foods I loved, especially starches. I went through all of elementary school getting picked on because of the diets and the weight problem. By the time I got into middle school the envy of how pretty my friends were started to truely get to me. It kinda put me into a depression. My mom finally took me to a doctor to check out the problem, but the moment I hated came about. I had to be weighed. I stepped on the scale to see that I was 12 years old and 185 pounds... After that realization, next thing I know I had tests being done on me for weeks. And I just had to sit down and deal with it, along with waiting for results. Finally I got the results and it came out positive that I had an underactive thyroid condition. (Meaning my thyroid, which is located in your throat and controls how your body burns fat and how you grow, wasn't working to it's full potential causing me to have a slow metabolism, so I didn't burn fat easily.) To think I went through all those years of being made fun of just because of a medical condition I couldn't even control. The doctor put me on medicine to help me burn fat. It has been almost 4 years since I was diagnosed and I am now 14 and weigh 130 pounds. I'm almost to my weight I want to be... So for all of the people who think "fat girls" aren't attractive and that they don't work for their bodies to be normal. Look at me. I worked long and hard for it and I couldn't even control it until I found out. Sorry for rambling and thanks to whoever read(:
