After reading what others have posted about weight I am so sorry you went through that. I thought my very hairy legs and arms were enough to deal with. When I was a child the boys would tease me a lot. I completely stopped going to church when I was 10. I wouldn't wear the dresses and my mom wouldn't let me go in pants. I would wear long sleeved shirts even in summer and my mom made my prom dresses so they would have long sleeves.

Man I was sure glad to graduate high school. Now if anyone gives me a hard time they regret it!

BTW - my husband was a big child. The kids teased him alot too. When he was 16 he was given a sportscar, that made the kids change fast. He couldn't wait until high school was over though.

Edit* wanted to add my exhusband's comment. When I found out that I was PCOS the Dr. was a very kind man. When he was explaining diets and exercise he mentioned you are considered obese. I was only 175 and the Dr. didn't say this in a cruel way. Later when I was explaining to my family that the dr. said I was 40 lbs. over my ideal weight my ex-husband said "You're not overweight you're obese". Needless to say I walked out with my daughter 2 months after that. Unfortunately now I have to deal with my daughter coming home in tears because her dad and step mom talk about mine and my husband's weight all the time. I have told her since she was old enough that people come in all shapes and sizes and what matters most is on the inside. D@#m exhusbands anyways, hope he rots in hell.
