I woke up every day from being a child to the age of seventeen having a belly, I would eat jelly for fun everyone said I needed to go for a run but I wold just lie down to eat Honey Buns. There wasn't a day that I wouldn't be called fat, I would always get mad and call them anorexic rats. I woke up one day not being able to put on my pants, my parents would just watch me rant about them shrinking my clothes. Fifth grade I was really short and my weight was really high, I would try to talk to girls but they would say "Bye!"; As time kept going I slowly become more active but I was still unnatractive. The last two years of middle school I discovered soccer, in my opinion the best sport in the world, I lost some weight, and gained a lot of friends. But one year my grades weren't the best and the next I took a knock on the knee the doctor said I was out for the rest of the season, those words hurt my chest, the only thing I could do was rest and wish for the best. My first year of high school was pretty fun, I still had a tummy and now I kind of started to feel some symptoms of the real world; cruel,mean, but also some positive lights that help you fight your way through the bad days. My sophomore year was most likley the best, I grew hair on my chest and played soccer again, we went undefeated for Junior Varsity my sight was set for Varsity, I kept fighting and fighting my junior year until the coach told me I had the potential he saw it but the only thing I needed was to loose the fat, that's when it felt like I had a light in my brain flash telling me to work harder than the rest. I work harder and harder every single day as I feared my health could get worse if I kept eating five tacos a day, and drinking juice as if it was water, I realized I needed help when my pants size were almost at a Forty. I couldn't even see my toes without lifting this belly and every time I saw someone thin I felt jealous. I worked hard over the summer, coming back as a senior almost unrecognizable to the most even giving my mom a surprise, I saw the look of surprise of my friends they were stunned and shocked from how much weight I lost, it gave me such a huge self esteem boost to see their reactions it made me felt less repulsive. My senior year is almost coming to an end, the most life changing expierence was getting an education, and being able to go through it not being the smartest,best looking, or the most popular. But as soon  as my weight loss began everything changed for me in Soccer, I scored goals and goals just like I used to eat and eat, except this time I didn't gain a pound but I did gain respect. I hope to never go back to the life of being pretty big, I hope to be able to do big things in life as a low class hispanic that is fit now and my confidence feels like I have powers to outwork the rest.
