To the men that hate on chubby women and the women that hate on chubby women.

I am a chubby woman.<br><br>I have been chubby my entire life. I played a sport since I was 5. I was athletic and could do everything my skinny friends could except for the physical appearance. I was always 100 pounds more than my friends and they loved to bring it up every chance they got. I never let it get to me until I was about 11 years old and I remember I would cry about it. I would wonder why I couldn't have a smaller waist like them. It really affected me. It got to the point where I had no self esteem at all.<br><br>I am 22 years old now, I would say I've grown to love the way I look. Granted I want to lose a little weight but I don't feel the need to be skinny. I love my size. I don't hate myself for it anymore and I've been able to block out the negativity and I was able to do that because of how I think chubby women are viewed now.<br><br>I just want to say, if you think we are disgusting or ugly or shouldn't be seen or shouldn't be able to wear certain things or should look different, or if you think you should say that to us, please just go and come back when you have something nice to say. We are tired of the negativity. We want to be loved and have a relationship like you or anyone else. We are tired of feeling bad about ourselves and we want to feel good and have a better self esteem and live a happy life. And you know what? I think we deserve it.<br><br>To the chubby women, your body is beautiful. You may have some extra fat and that is what makes you so lovable. I love you and I love the way you look. You are so beautiful to me. I hope you feel the same way.
