Perfectly imperfect



\"Fat\" is usually a word used to insult a girl. 



I am Zainab Shahzadi.. Shahzadi means Princess.. I am 22 and overweight. Just because of that weight people think I am pitiful, wretched abject and an object of throwing jokes at. Whenever I meet people, the first thing they talk about is my weight.. oh zainab, you put on weight or they compliment with slap that you are beautiful but that fat on you.. Oh poor you.. I mean, is \"fat\" really the worst thing a human being can be? Is \"fat\" worse than vindictive, jealous, shallow, vain, boring, or cruel? 



People start suggesting me the tips to lose weight and start laughing.. Actually this is all they can do.. I am not in the business of being judeged on my looks.. I know I have much more in me where that kind of people can never reach. But their remarks and taunts made me more confident and powerful. I am much than what they see.. 



I am not this hair, I am not this skin, I am the soul that lives within



I challenge them to compete me. I see their talent. I see their size. I see their Demise.. i don't care who the biggest fish in the pond is I'm a whole nother animal. I am a completely different beast. If the crocodile is the biggest fish in the pond I'm the crocodile hunter. If the shark is the biggest beast in the sea, I'm the beast the shark could never be.. I don't care what they throw at me.. I am ready beacause I've been working for it.. I'm powerful.. Their taunts made me powerful and strong woman. They can't stop me getting where i deserve to be.



I am raising my voice for all fat women. If they think they can degrade us and judge us on our body or looks.. they must grow up. To all those people i wanna say go get a work..



Strong women are strong from inside body shape and weight doesn't matter amd cant stop us.



If today i am able to talk with this confidence is because of their taunts, I've been through depression and hard times beacuse of them.. but now i have realised they can only speak.. my sufferings have made me a strong women. Proud to be a woman.
