Im Fat. I wasnt always fat （which obviously implies that I was once physically fit）. I dont plan on being fat forever. And while packing on the pounds is not something I would recommend to others， its not something to be feared either.

I was a skinny little runt of a kid growing up. I was always the smallest on my sports teams， both in height and girth. My body started to fill out around my senior year of high school. But while the other student athletes were hitting the gym （and their dietary supplements）， I shied away from unnecessary exertion and instead turned to writing and music.

By my sophomore year at college， Id gained “the freshman fifteen” and then some. My mom， noticing my plumpness on one of her visits， gave me an Ab Roller for my birthday （thx mom）. Since then， my weight and shape have fluctuated from “ripped with a six-pack” to “round with a keg.”But I must say that my level of happiness has been relatively unaffected by how fat Ive been over the years， seeing as how Im presently both fat and happy， though not happy to be fat.

Why I Never Weigh Myself Anymore follows a young girl who grew up wanting to gain weight， and reluctantly ends up getting her wish. I Was A Fat Kid—And I Finally Understand Why shows how growing up overweight can affect someones entire outlook on life. And When Your Mother Says Shes Fat is a letter that reads as the confession of a daughters past misconceptions.

Just because youre overweight （or otherwise different） doesnt mean youre any less important or beautiful than the“normal looking” person right next to you. I guess the moral of the story is： Beauty is in the eye of the beholder， and happiness is in the heart of the beholder.

我很胖。我也不是一直都這么胖的（很明顯，這句話暗示了我曾經(jīng)體型健美）。我也沒打算就這么一直胖下去。增重長胖并不是我想向諸君推薦做的事，但這也并非什么好懼怕的事。

小時候，我是個又瘦又小的孩子。我一直都是運(yùn)動隊(duì)里最小的那個，無論是身高還是體型。我的身子到了高二的時候才開始長肉。不過，當(dāng)其他學(xué)生運(yùn)動員投身健身房（和服用調(diào)節(jié)飲食的補(bǔ)充劑）時，我卻不愛虛耗體力，只管把精力投向?qū)懽骱鸵魳樊?dāng)中。

到我大二那年，我的體重增加了“新生15磅”，日后更是愈加嚴(yán)重。我媽媽在某次探訪中發(fā)現(xiàn)我“發(fā)福”后，送了一副腹部健身器給我作為生日禮物（謝啦媽）。從那時起，我的體重和體型就起起落落，時而“現(xiàn)出六塊腹肌”，時而又“掛著個水桶”。但我必需說，這些年來，我的快樂水平并沒有因?yàn)樽约旱姆逝殖潭榷兴绊??？纯次椰F(xiàn)在，盡管對自己的肥胖感到不滿，但我還是又胖又快樂的。
