P.H.A.T
In my neighborhood, being slender and thin was the trend, if you didn't have a slender waist then you were basically seen as an outcast and i Winifred Harper was an outcast.
Anyway basically in these kinds of neighborhood mothers did everything in their power to make sure their children came out as the standards required, they would work out, minimize their cravings or just starve a bit, but my mother was the opposite she ate, barely worked out and craved the weirdest things, while being pregnant with my elder brother Louis Harper she craved stirred fried chicken and Dad gave her a lot but miraculously my big bro came out slender and is currently tall, handsome, and muscular.
My elder sister the second born Lilian Harper had the same miracle and came out with not only the snatched waist but also with curvy hips, she was basically a little goddess! Then it was I and my twin sister's turn, it was the same cycle but i and Tammi Harper came out differently, she was born slim while I was born…fat…yup for some reason everyone said that I was the greedy twin in the womb that ate all the food and this was just a way of karma catching up.
When I was in 3rd grade I weighed 50 kg, I was pretty much round, so I adopted the nickname Winnie the poo….yes it was already bad enough that I was a brown-skinned girl and Tammi was not tanned, but I was always laughed at and called the uglier version of Tammi, and she never spoke up for me which broke me.
Tammi in 3rd grade
Honestly, looking back I did look like a Winnie the poo, but still wasn't nice.
Then in 7th grade Tammi and her friends kept on bulling me to the extent that they shaved my eyebrows, I cried so hard that my face puffed up, when I told mum about it, she was so nonchalant about it and told me that it would grow back eventually, when I told dad about it a month later when he came back from a business trip he hugged me and assured me that no matter what they called me that I was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen, my dads words made me stronger and in eight grade I started working out and eating less, I noticed so much improvement, and before I knew it in 11th grade I was slimmer. I wasn't as slim as Tammi, but I was still happy with my transformation. The bullying stopped for that period, but Tammi was mad, she wanted me to stay fat so that she would get all the glory, but I was done with her bullying and insults and decided to start taking care of myself. i later made friends, McKenzie, and Rachael. They weren't also the slimmest, but they loved their body the exact way it was and had no shame flaunting it. Soon we became an inseparable trio, and we called ourselves P.H.A.T meaning pretty hot and thick.
