You are more than your outward appearance! Regardless of wether you are underweight or overweight, you are still a human being. You still matter. You are still loved by others. When others treat you like a dog, you do not become a dog. You are a human being with human thoughts, passions and desires. Nobody can take that away from you. Shakespeare, in The Merchant of Venice, said it perfectly:
Are we not “ fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer?” (Act III, 1)
Your abilities extend beyond your physical boundaries. Just because you are not the fittest or the quickest does not mean that you cannot be great. When life throws you to the curb, do not loiter around and wait for the next blow. Stand up! Fight to be the person that you want to be! There will always be the haters and the naysayers. Prove them wrong! Not being strong or thin does not prevent you from being great. Be the person that you were born to be. Being your best possible self does not involve conforming to the standards of others.
