I’m bored so I thought I would share my childhood trauma with you guys, feel free to tell me your own childhood traumas.
As a child I was always a skinny lanky girl, due to my unusual height, but when I hit puberty I put on a lot of weight. I was never fat, just chubby. On my 12th birthday I went swimming with my friends, it was great fun at first, shooting down all the water slides and rapids. I got separated from the group and ended up on my own in a hot tub thingie. This group of teenagers joined me; I would say they were about 17/18. The girls in the group were all skinny blonde airhead types and the guys were typical moronic macho types. They all started staring and laughing at me, calling me fat and one girl said to me “if I was as fat as you I wouldn’t even think of wearing a swimming costume”
I left the hot tub nearly in tears and went looking for my friends. I tried to avoid that group for the rest of the day but with no such luck. One of the stick insect girls came up to me and started saying that one of the guys in there group fancied me and liked my fat ass. They all started laughing like little hyenas again at me. They just wouldn’t leave me alone, in the end I left the swimming centre 2 hours early because they kept hounding me and bullying me. It totally ruined my birthday for me. I know that this isn’t an awful childhood experience and that many people experience situations a lot worse. It’s just something that has always stuck in my mind; it changed my way of thinking. I couldn’t comprehend why anyone would do something so nasty to someone just for the sake of it. That was five years ago and I am now the same age as they would have been at the time. I still can’t understand why anyone would want to be that spiteful to anyone lol. Has anyone else experience something similar.

Hi,
I have been overwieght my whole life and have had many simliar expeirences but God provided me with an acid tongue and have been able to responded in kind to those ignorant people. What I'v found is that we all have our flaws and for many the only way to compensate is focusing on others and making everyone's life as unfortunate as they feel there's is. I'v tryed to satisfy one persons opionion and only one - me. The reason for weight lose and control has been my health, plus i love the feeling you get from excersise. Just try and do whats right, the rest will come.

Yeah, sure. I've had fat times and thin times in my life. This takes place during the 8th grade (which would've made me 13 or 14). I played trombone in the concert band. It was during one of my fat periods. I was 2nd chair, and sat next to a skinny guy with long hair. I think his name was Francis. Anyway, I kept hearing a whistle while the director worked other sections on something. I looked up toward the sound only to hear one of the tuba players say, "Not you, fat a$$." She would then whistle again and say the same thing...even if I didn't look up. Now, at 13 or so you're just starting to figure out what is going on with you sexually. This has bothered me since. I have a terrible time speaking with women I find attractive. And I'm a lot older than 13. But you know, it was a crappy thing for this person to say. I got a lot of fat jokes, but I think this was the worst. She wasn't even remotely attractive to me...and it bothered me. Whatever. Kids can be so freakin' cruel. Teenage girls are the worst. Teenage boys are just stupid, so they don't really figure into it. The only time I smile about this is when I think, "You know, I was fat and smart. She was not attractive and dumb. I can always lose weight. She'll always be dumb."

Yea child hood sux Its funny though......from k-6 yoru a fat ass.......but when you get to jr high and high school you get respect, cause the kids realize, he's 2x my body weight, and he's a wrestler, and he coudl kick my ass lol. Tehn in high school, they see as big as being somthing kinda cool, guys All ways told me they wish they where my size. lol And I wished I was there size lol. Now I love being 260lbs Which I could shed about 15lbs of fat, but hay, can't have everything you want. I
love food, hate cardio, and love to lift heavy, I'll trade being really strong, for a few extra pounds.
Cause it wasn't tilllater, I was dieting and losing weight for the wrong reason, to fit in, and I thought if I Lost weight girls would like me. Jr year I was like screw it, I'm gonna be what I wanna be, thats big and strong, I was picked on alot being fat lil kid. Thats not gonna happen anymore. Now if you don't liek me , cause i'm not a 'male model" figure, well i say you bring that lil male model, with his fake 6 pack( most are actually artifical no days) and i show you who the real man! lol
Guess for girls its a lil different lol

I was never picked on for being overweight, and even though I saw myself as "fat" if you had asked anyone around me, they would just have said I was muscular. That doesn't stop you from feeling like people think badly of you, and hurting your self image. I have always been bigger than the rest of class from kindergarden all through high school, and I now realize that I will probably never be smaller than a 12-14. Now I just have to get back to that 12-14!! :)
