I Love Gaining Weight
As I've always been big some people have asked me about school as a fat girl, in particular my experiences in physical Ed classes.
Here goes .. I was always the biggest by far in the class. I could not really run more than half a block without getting very out of breath and the teachers would let me sit out because they were worried about my Breathing as I suffered from asthma. Although i probably should have felt disappointed I actually liked this, sitting and watching the others I wasn't jealous that I couldn't do what all the other kids were doing in fact in a way it made me feel special that I had to sit and watch.
I was actually pretty good at baseball and could hit the ball real far so i was never left out of this sport. Some of the teachers would just let me bat and have another kid run for me as this was the part that let me down because I could never at my size score a run, others wouldn't allow this though lol. I could pitch pretty well too so I was always picked and never left out.
Even swimming wasn't really too bad for me. I didn't mind wearing a swimsuit and quite liked swimming. One difficulty though was at the end of each lesson we would have a race and we would have to swim as fast as we could to the side of the pool and then climb up on to the edge of the pool and put our hands in the air. Now the swimming to the edge of the pool was not a problem, however getting out at my size without using the ladder was not so easy for me. The teachers not wanting me to be different from the other kids would have the swimming teacher in the pool help push me out of the water and the instructor outside of the pool help hoist me up. They did this so I could be included in the race and so I didn't appear different to the other kids by having to use the ladder .. But seriously how different did I look having two teachers struggle to help me out of the pool lol. All in all my school days were pretty happy.. Yes I did get some teasing and yes I was a little different but I had lots of friends and just shows even Fat kids can be happy. For some people being fat can be a mostly positive experience !
