Have you ever felt judged for being overweight?

I am sorry to hear that you went through all this, honey. I read your story, and I kinda felt each and every word you mentioned. There were days when I was body-shamed by my own family. Coming something of this sort from your family rather than support and love feels terrible. I have an incident to share from my dating life; I used to date a homeless guy. Ya, ik you guys will judge me on that, but please do not!!

One morning, I spotted him outside my home, picking up food from the trash and eating it. I felt bad; I was packing my breakfast and added 2 extra sandwiches for him. I met him on the school bus and offered him food, and he immediately took it. That’s how we became friends. At that time, I was a cute and chubby chick.

One day, I offered him to shower at my place and change clothes. He came by, I offered my dad’s clothes to him, he looked nice and all, at that moment I thought I started liking him. After a few more days of hanging out sessions, we came closer. I believed he loved me, loved me for who I am. Obese! Fat! Chubby!... I was wrong.

I was just being used for my kindness and for regular day-to-day stuff. He played me, he used me, and when I confronted him, he lashed out at me and told me to f-off from his life! WHY? Because I was an ugly fat chick!! That day, my world fell apart. When he left my place after this confession, I broke down. I shared this with my sister, and she slammed me for being overweight and that I will never get a guy.

Imagine a 17-year-old girl being called out for her medical condition by the ones she thought were close. I went into depression and started staying in my room. My parents couldn’t care less about me; they didn’t come up to me and just asked how I was doing. I desperately wanted to take my life and felt that there was no point in living this way.

Never mind, my best friend, Lily, she broke into my room after a week and took me to the doctor. I was hospitalized for 2 weeks. After coming back to life, I was counseled by the Dr to believe in myself, and he prescribed me Orlimax capsule. It has been a game-changer for me ever since. It has really helped me cope with my condition and in weight management. It was challenging for me to buy Orlimax 60 mg in nearby pharmacies, so I got it exported from a reliable manufacturer. To feel better, I started surrounding myself with people who loved me for who I was. I moved out of my house, started living alone, and am happy with Lily. We’re about to get married next month. I love her because she loved me when I couldn’t love myself.

I hope you find the love and respect you deserve too ♥️

Love & Hugs!!
