WHY AM I SO FAT?

 

Akanke weighed 6kg when she was born,this is a whole lot to her for she didn't choose this, neither does she regret being this. Many like her out there are losing it as the society now has a validation of which weight is ideal and which isnt. Since she began getting asked this questions, she avoided being in the public as it affected her self-esteem but at point she came to the realization that none of it was her fault and she honestly didn't have to be apologetic about it.

Soon she began to fully socialize, and people around her tends to tease her unnecessarily asking her why she's so fat, unknown to them this question does trigger her, Sometimes this person's take it for a joke but sadly she doesn't, again she began to draw away from people as she gets hurt easily and somehow blame herself for their misdeeds this lead to her hating herself, unable to control how bad she feels, she decided to let her friends in on how bad their statement about her body makes her feel, this is where and when she decided that she cannot be away from people as she will be needing them, thus she learned to love herself, her sanity before anyone and alongside a good fashion sense to top it (winks).
