Is how I feel valid?

I used to go to sleep every night hungry when I was 16 because I thought that I was fat since that’s what my grandma told me. But for the past 3 years now I have been eating what I feel like eating because for the first time I am free and able to buy stuff. I know that I have gained weight (I am 5’1 and 165 pounds) and I wish that I didn’t but at the same time I don’t care anymore about looking good because people always judge me and I am always the target wherever I go because I am very shy. I know it’s bad that I go out to restaurants that I like and eat sweets but I just want to be free and happy and live a comfortable life.

I used to cry whenever people called me fat but now I have become numb to it. I just want to be happy and eat the stuff that I like. I don’t eat excessively either but I don’t work out so that’s why I gain weight

My thoughts are what’s the point of looking good if people are always going to judge me?
