“To the Bullied...”

“To the Bullied…”

Don’t be afraid to stand up for yourself. Don’t sit back and think, oh today wasn’t so bad, tomorrow will be different. They will get tired of bothering me eventually and move on to the next person soon. You teach people how to treat you, so let you voice be heard by your tormentor, let voices be heard by all tormentors that seek to make themselves feel better at the expense of others. Stand strong, proud, determined to not let another day go by with out your voice being heard by those who seek to pursue you for the sake of harm or make you feel less than human.

Walk with your head up to the sky, to show those who would seek to harm your soul that the words they speak will turn on them. Thus, the pain they bring to others is really just the pain they feel about themselves. In doing this, you will turn your tormentors around. Instead of a source of pain and fear, you will instead see them as a test of true self esteem and self worth. You will display to all that no one will be able to use their words of hurt and contempt to break you down or to make you question how special you are to this world and others in it.

Remember that outside of this, you may have others in your life who care about you. Tell them what is happening to you and allow them to stand with you. To be another voice along side yours that will not allow another to mistreat you with a wicked tongue and painful intentions. It may not end right away but in time know that you can and will move on, leaving your tormentors in the dust of the past. And even if life continues to throw you all the bothersome things it can muster, just know that with each new trial there will come from it strength, wisdom and knowledge that you will and can use to survive any and all rough times of your life.

Subconsciously FAT

WOW guys. I genuinely feel like today is such an eye-opening day for me. I was sent these photos from my past by a cousin. I don't remember these photos or when these were taken, and to be completely honest i very rarely look at childhood pictures of myself, because i had a lot of insecurities about my weight growing up. I was told at a VERY early age that i was FAT, and was always compared to other children in my family. Even my pet name at home (which was used by the entire wider family) literally translated to ‘fatso’ in punjabi.

I look back at it all now and can  recognise some key people who actually used my insecurity to intentionally antagonise me and make me feel greedy and terrible for enjoying food which all children at my age did! I feel like time has changed so much, and todays youth would turn around and tell that bully 10 things they could change about themselves! but for me at the time? i was completely horrified with myself! I’ve ‘struggled’ with my weight for what seems like my entire adult life, and have always heard people say to me ‘but Sohni, you’re really not even fat’. And i remember thinking LIES!!! (lol), because i was convinced that people couldn't understand how fat i was because they don’t know how greedy and fat i’ve been my whole life.

Unfortunately, i can't remember any of these times in the  photographs, but i specifically remember rushing to the bathroom on several occasions in my childhood and crying my soul out after family members would call me fat and laugh at my face. I remember putting myself on ‘diets’ at the age of ten years old which would basically consist of my not eating for as long as possible, only to be made of fun of by certain people when i did eventually eat. I remember being so envious of my sister/cousins who didn’t have to deal with that, and thinking, if only i was as skinny as them; those family members wouldn’t pick on me so much. But i realise now that it would never have ended that way, because the problem never truly existed. the true problem was that i had an insecurity that others knew how to manipulate and they did for their own sad amusement.

I have to say, today for the first time at the age of 26, i looked at these photographs and genuinely thought.. WTF!!! i REALLY WAS NOT FAT AT ALL!... and i’m seriously so super thankful for finally feeling that way for the first time after so many years! Because now i understand that there is nothing holding me back apart from my own mind.

I will be adding these photos of me to my inspiration body/fitness folder in my phone, because its one thing to know where you want to end up, but its SOOO much more important to understand where you came from and how perfect god made you.

So honestly guys, if ever you see someone being picked on, even if it seems like a minor thing, just stick up for them, and most importantly watch them and TALK to them. You could never tell from these photos, but deep down i was feeling ways that would shape the way i would look at myself in the mirror for 20 years to come. 

I’m feeling so thankful today, and hope to change every single one of my insecurities into an empowerment.
