I have been a fat man my whole life. Every day, I live with the emotions and struggles that come with being in a body that people constantly judge. Many don't realize how deeply their words and actions can cut—how body shaming can quietly destroy someone's confidence and self-worth.

This project explores the feelings I experience daily: the shame, frustration, and isolation, but also the resilience and self-acceptance I'm learning to build. Society often reduces people like me to a number on a scale, forgetting that behind every body is a mind that feels and a heart that hurts.

Research shows that obesity is closely linked to depression, yet few people talk about the emotional pain caused not by the body itself, but by how others treat it. Through this work, I want to shed light on that silent suffering and challenge the way we see and speak about bodies like mine.

Because I cry. I laugh. I dance. And I celebrate every part of my body. This project is about me, my fatness, and my journey toward acceptance.
