Stop telling me that I'm not fat I stepped on the scale this morning knowing full well I gained weight I was not expecting to make it up to 140 though I was wrong I thought I could keep off the weight I fought so hard to lose But no, looks like this is going to be a lifelong struggle for me I'll always have to think about what I eat Always I've gained 8lbs It doesn't matter what's muscle or how much my ***** weigh Even if they're legit, I'm going to quit making excuses I have to starve myself again I hated that the most More than going to the gym More than never eating anything good The hunger 500 kcal a day, or I was never going to see any results And it was true I can't eat 1500 kcal without gaining something My metabolism is non-existent Regardless The thing that has really been killing me is everyone else That false hope “You're not fat.” I don't even know why I ever agreed or let them get to me Even after losing 20lbs I was still fat at 132, I still had 20 or so lbs to go But maybe my clothes were too flattering, or they were too nice I don't care if you are 500lbs Don't tell me I'm not fat Don't tell me I'm not allowed to feel fat I'm not skinny-passing and I never have been I'm not some skinny girl looking for attention or reassurance I don't care if that's your honest opinion I don't care if you'd rather be at my weight or would be happy at my weight I hate my naked body I could never pull off a bikini I'm living in reality I know what other people would honestly think Fat is fat I could weigh so much more, but it doesn't matter I've already passed the threshold of what is considered fat From a health standpoint I might be better off I might not be that hard to look at naked but I'm still fat Quit telling me I'm not allowed to feel fat because I don't meet your requirements This is something I struggle with just as much as someone at 200 or 300 or 400 I feel ugly, unwanted, disgusting I know it has a hand in my love life I need exercise equipment at home I'm too self-conscious to go out running or jogging I don't want anyone to see me This ends now I give up I'm ready to trade it all for a body I love and am proud of

Stop telling me that I'm not fat I stepped on the scale this morning knowing full well I gained weight I was not expecting to make it up to 140 though I was wrong I thought I could keep off the weight I fought so hard to lose But no, looks like this is going to be a lifelong struggle for me I'll always have to think about what I eat Always I've gained 8lbs It doesn't matter what's muscle or how much my ***** weigh Even if they're legit, I'm going to quit making excuses I have to starve myself again I hated that the most More than going to the gym More than never eating anything good The hunger 500 kcal a day, or I was never going to see any results And it was true I can't eat 1500 kcal without gaining something My metabolism is non-existent Regardless The thing that has really been killing me is everyone else That false hope “You're not fat.” I don't even know why I ever agreed or let them get to me Even after losing 20lbs I was still fat at 132, I still had 20 or so lbs to go But maybe my clothes were too flattering, or they were too nice I don't care if you are 500lbs Don't tell me I'm not fat Don't tell me I'm not allowed to feel fat I'm not skinny-passing and I never have been I'm not some skinny girl looking for attention or reassurance I don't care if that's your honest opinion I don't care if you'd rather be at my weight or would be happy at my weight I hate my naked body I could never pull off a bikini I'm living in reality I know what other people would honestly think Fat is fat I could weigh so much more, but it doesn't matter I've already passed the threshold of what is considered fat From a health standpoint I might be better off I might not be that hard to look at naked but I'm still fat Quit telling me I'm not allowed to feel fat because I don't meet your requirements This is something I struggle with just as much as someone at 200 or 300 or 400 I feel ugly, unwanted, disgusting I know it has a hand in my love life I need exercise equipment at home I'm too self-conscious to go out running or jogging I don't want anyone to see me This ends now I give up I'm ready to trade it all for a body I love and am proud of
