I do not know anyone who does not feel any type of emotion while reading an interesting book, especially a touching book such as "Fat Girl." As I began reading, a thousand different emotions crawled through me. The story portrays a miserable life of a girl who is only referred to as fat. As I read along, I could not help myself but imagine the immense distress the author experienced. Every detail got me thinking about the unfair people who have the heart to put one through such a tough time for weighing more than average. Growing up in a supportive family, I could not believe the author's own mother and grandmother had the heart to add on more pain to their beloved when she needed their support the most. The deep sentences which described the hate the author built up towards herself had me feeling the pain she felt her entire life. I had never stopped and thought about what overweight people eel especially when they are being abused for it, but this book opened my eyes. I am always thinking twice before I form an opinion or thought about an individual. "Fat Girl" does not leave my mind for hours after I stop reading because the authors pain and also her love for food is described in such a detailed manner that it cannot fail at capturing the readers emotions. One cannot understand what I am saying unless they get their hands on this book. At times I felt as if I knew the author and I could help her. I never knew one can grow up hating themselves because they do not know how to accept themselves for who they are. It made me build a sudden grief towards all the horrible people who live so calmly while committing such horrible acts while innocent beings do not want to live with themselves because they are never accepted by anyone, not even their family.
