I am 33 years old. I am 5"3 and as of today, I weigh 228 pounds. I have been fat most of my life and have been teased and criticized for it. For a long time I was ashamed of myself. I have lost a lot of weight a few times only to gain it back plus interest. Now, I am coming to embrace my fat body. I am embracing myself. I take no offense to being called names and teased because fat is beautiful, its awesome, its who I am. It is the way God made me. I am a pig, hog, blimp, etc... I am a gainer and will continue to gain weight everyday. I will get to 260 by my birthday in December which is on Christmas. I am shouting out to the rooftops that I will reach 500 pounds.
