Right, get ready because this will be a long paragraph...

I'm pretty sure that you are neither fat nor ugly. The problem is, when you think of yourself as a fat and unnattractive person, no matter how skinny or beautiful you really are, you'll never be truly comfortable in your own skin. We are all over critical of ourselves - especially when selfish others make fun of what we look like. To be honest, people who say stuff like that aren't worth caring about anyway.

I blame the modern obsession with being skinny on the stick thin models/actresses/singers. Oh, and those photoshopped pictures you see everywhere these days. If none of those things were around, we wouldn't be nearly as self-concious as we all are. The truth is, the people you see in magazines are FAKE - it's mind boggling how much they are edited, and the sort of things celebrities go through to make themselves thin. I have bigger and better things to do in my life than try and make myself thin to please others. As long as I'm comfortable in my own skin, who cares what other people think?

Sure, you may worry that people (especially boys) won't like you if you're 'fat', but would you really want to be involved with those conceited people anyway? I know I wouldn't. People should like you for who you are, and if they don't, stuff them! Wait for someone better to come along.

Basically, just chill out. Always put yourself first - after all, it's your life! Stop feeling like you have to please everyone else, because trust me, I went through a stage where I felt like I had to make everyone else happy in order for me to be happy, and I realized after a while that it was just making me so much more depressed, and I constantly thought of myself as fat, ugly and not good enough.

Make a fresh start. Take inspiration from people like Beyonce and our beautiful Jennette McCurdy - GORGEOUS people who are very successful and not at all afraid to embrace their curves. Don't turn out like those anorexic girls because you'll never be happy that way. I'd rather be curvy and happy than thin and depressed. Diets are stressful (believe me, I've been on many) and don't tend to make much of a difference.

Most of all, just try your best to be happy in yourself. You only live once, so enjoy yourself to the max, do what you want and eat what you want to eat. It will take time to see yourself in a different light, but you'll manage. I did(:
