After seeing an old pic of me at age 13, I realized I was obese(and not just chubby) back then. (remembering now the fucking tigh chafing, trust me that shit is really disgusting)  I was bullied and shamed in school. And guess what, it worked. I stopped eating sweets and drinking coke.(No sports, still used my Asthma as an excuse) I haven't lost any weight afterwards, but started to grow tall. My BMI got lower. And that was what mattered. I knew my excusses. I know the pain of not being able to breathe properly. The pain of tigh chafing. the shame of goging to the pool. I don't want this ever again.
