Your Curvy Sisters
I'm about 5'7 or 5'8, and I weigh 153 lbs. My doctor says it's a good weight for my height but I just feel so gross all the time. In 8th grade (I'm a freshman now) I got called fat ONCE and I took it horribly and I just wanna cry most of the time. it's brought down my confidence and ability to just relax and have fun. I spend lunchtime obsessing over the calories i eat or not eating anything at all. What can I do to bring up my confidence and just be happy???

It’s so frustrating that people still bully their peers and throw around the word fat. You heard it once and it had this profound of an impact on your well-being, which is a normal reaction. I wish people were more sensitive and realized the damage they could be doing.

But that aside, you’re not fat. Your height and weight seem normal and if your doctor says that it’s a good weight, trust them. Starting yourself and obsessing over calories will just drive you crazy. Please, try to forget what one rude person said to you and focus on all of the compliments/good things you hear about yourself. It’s not fair to let one negative comment have more of an influence than a million positive comments, especially because the positive are said out of love and friendship and the negative was out of disrespect.
