Why would my guy friend find be beautiful when I was 266lbs when other guys ignored me back in high school?

I always was a big girl. I was never skinny or slim at all. Starting when I was 11, I was very insecure about my size. I developed early. I started getting boobs at 10 years old, 11 I got a boot and all. I was obese I was overweight. I grew from 5’8 to 5’11 in middle school. It was HELL!

Boys wouldn’t even look at me and I never got asked out at to the dance until 8th grade. That’s when my guy friend started to like me. He admitted to me during high school that he likes me. I ballooned from 240lbs to 266lbs.
I had crushes on this guy who wouldn’t give me the time a day. His girlfriends were always slim or petite. He humiliated me at senior prom. I know my guy friend asked me to prom TWICE times. I went with him junior year, AS FRIENDS the second I told him no. Every dance or Valentine’s Day he asked me to go with him or ask me out and I rejected him and I told him we’re just friends.

I though boys in high school didn’t like big tall girls. My guy friend had the hots for me, even at 266lbs. I was always jealous of those slim or skinny girls. He is a big boy. Back then he was. Like me he was overweight and got tall at 6’1 or 6’2.”
I’m 5’11” and was 266lbs.

He told me I didn’t need to be thin to be beautiful and and I am beautiful the way I am. Plus I’m a big guy and I love plump girls.” I mean I’m flattered me likes me for who I am.

She STILL has a crush on me to this day. I’m down to 178lbs. He said I look amazing but I don’t look the same and don’t lose too much but health is important. He’s working on his health as well. He told me not to be like those mean, hot women. He never liked the hot, thin/curvy girls. Only me.
