Introduction into the bloggers life

Look at me and what do you see? Am I a slob? Or do you see me as,"That fat girl from school"? To my friends, I am Beth. I am not the,"Fat girl." Stereotypes are everywhere, but the stereotype that consumes my life, is the one where I am labeled for not being skinny. Weighing in at 400 pounds, I have often been discriminated against for my weight, not given the time to show people the real me. Who am I really? Well, lets start with this. I am a proud BBW woman. I value my body and love it just the way it is. Do I want to improve my body? Yes, I do. Will I improve my body for anyone other than myself? No. I am beautiful just the way I am and if I make the choice to change, it will be for me and only me. Looking at me, most would see me for my looks. But, to others I am the girl with the loudest voice in the choir, I am the girl with the outstanding personality. I am that girl that gives compliments to the other girls who treat her like nothing. Why do I compliment those who belittle me? It's simple. I am not them. Although, their minds are shallow and they refuse to see my inner beauty, I refuse to let that effect who I am. The most important thing to being me, is loving others for every fault they have. Who am I to judge any other living soul? Being the girl who has been stereotyped, why would I, myself, stereotype anyone else? Knowing the pain it brings, why would I put another person through that, a person who may not be as strong as I am? A simple shout out to all of those struggling with weight and who they are, love yourself. Love your body. Love the person you are and you can change the world. With a positive attitude and a set mind, you can fight back. Not using the same hateful words that are shot at you, but by proving to all of those who belittle you that YOU are not going to be judged. You are not going to let their words effect you. You are a strong, beautiful/handsome person and you are proud of it. So, in conclusion to my brief revelation of who I am.. Who do you think I am?
