A young woman named Kate has been bullied since elementary school for being overweight and that baggage followed her into her adult years. She was a cheerleader for a number of years but lost faith in herself because of her body image issues.
“[Being overweight] made me feel like less of a person,” Kate said. “I lost friends because I didn’t fit the mold.”
She knew that her weight loss issues were deeper than just wanting to overeat.
“I think I use my weight as a shield to protect myself from getting hurt,” Kate said.
