Ace Submission, Character development Exercise 2

Why am I so fat? Why can't I just be slim like that other guy? Why can't I keep to my diet? Why did I have to be this size and weight?nI had problems with my self appearance. This greatly affected my self esteem.
As a result of my size, I often got teased in school. People who say, "have you heard of running?", "have you heard of a diet?" or "have you heard of diet coke?" and they would laugh at it. I always wanted to lose weight and go on a diet, but I could never keep to it. Every time I look in the mirror, I would dread my body. I regret growing up eating so much fastfood like 'McDonalds' and 'KFC' and 'Burger King'.
Everyday, I would try to run. However, it was to no avail. Every time I jogged a few steps, I would feel a sense of breathlessness and could not continue running. Many people teased me for being so fat and could not run. No one would team with me during physical education. To add on to my problems, I would always fail my Napha. This resulted in more teasing. During the cross country race, I would come in last. Some people even copied my way of running and laughed at it.
However, this all changed. One day, the track and field teacher asked me if I would like to join track at field, shot put. I gladly agreed as I wanted to slim down. Over the months, I began to grow slimmer and became more muscular.
" Bob Martin, 26.5m, the winner of this year's annual track and field competition!" The loud speaker boomed. My school roared cheers and I felt accomplished. I managed to earn the respect of others, and I no longer had problems with my looks.
