"My heart’s desire and my purpose on this earth is to help inspire other people to see their own value, and to realize that they are capable of anything if they will trust God, and trust themselves!"

Katie Giguere 

Excerpt from "Being the Fat Girl"

I remembered the time in middle school when a boy brought a dog biscuit in to school and gave it to me.   He stood across the field where we were having gym class and laughed aloud, as I dropped the biscuit, and hung my head. 

I remembered the time when I was thirteen when a lady at a Chinese restaurant asked me when my baby was due.  I was not pregnant.  I was a virgin, and I had never so much as held hands with a boy.  I was wearing a sundress.  I never wore it again after that day.

The worst thing I dragged up was a conversation I’d had with one of my friends just a few months earlier.  He had called me and said, “You’re pretty cute.  You know,  if you were skinny, you'd be hot."  Although the comment hurt, that isn’t what made it the worst thing.   At the time, I had actually taken it as a compliment.  I thought that hearing “If you were skinny, you’d be hot” was the closest I’d ever get to hearing “I think you’re beautiful.”
