In my fattest, I was comfortable in my own skin despite the negative feedback  I've heard. Yes, those were esteem damaging but I brushed it all off. Most of the time, I ignored as if I didn't hear. But I am also human and it was hurtful, nonetheless.
 I always thought I was more than the physical of my body.  I had substance: perhaps, a little wit, but even more, I was equipped with a big heart, a fighting spirit & a relentless faith in God. 

Losing weight & in my tinniest, I still find it difficult to accept the ravishing and flattering compliments. But I'm learning. I need to constantly remind myself that shouldn't forget the old, thick me. The individual who stood out in a crowd because she has an awesome sense of humor that made everyone giggling abs laughing in their seats with her client self. The genuine one who might be tough on the outside but if you peeled her onion skin, she has a gentle heart of a giant. 

Truth is, she's been there. She's still there. But now, that persona others failed to notice, the crowd finally saw she has a pretty face and an awesome body.
