EXCLUSIVE: **NO NEW YORK POST OR NEWS CORP USAGES** Story from Jam Press (Plus Size Body Love) Pictured: Clarissa Thompson. Plus-size teacher who endured YEARS of bullying over weight reveals how she learned to love her body size 22-24 body A plus-size teacher has revealed how she overcame crippling insecurities and learned to love herself after being bullied for years. Clarissa Thompson, 28, from California, has struggled with self-acceptance and confidence issues for most of her life, after constantly being teased about her size as a young girl. But the special education teacher, who is now a size 22-24, has turned her life around and is the happiest she has ever been with her body. ??sMy journey has not been an easy one, to say the least,??? Clarissa, who has over 56,500 followers on Instagram (@clarissatalks) told Jam Press. "Growing up I was never taught to love my body. I was always guided toward diet culture and that I would look better if I lost weight. ??sAlso, being teased at a younger age for my body size always just made me feel that my body was not a beautiful thing and something I shouldn't love ??" that I needed to change it. ??sI struggled with self-acceptance and self-confidence a lot throughout my life. ??sOvercoming those feelings of insecurities is something that I am always working on.??? Once Clarissa got into her twenties, she discovered body positivity and plus-size influencers, which helped her let go of the negative mindset around her body. The young woman also underwent weight loss surgery two years ago and subsequently lost 150 pounds. She said: ??sI never thought I was allowed to love my body the way it was. "I always tried to hide it. It wasn't until the past couple of years of my life that I found this deep love for my body. ??sI have to give a lot of credit to my therapist for working through a lot of deep trauma from when I was younger. "Taking care of my mental health has been a key factor in the improvement of my overall well-being. ??sGoing out of my comfort zone in life has been a great way to work on that too.??? Clarissa no longer believes that losing weight is important ??" but simply focuses on "feeling good in her body". She said: ??sI think health looks different on everyone and not one way works best for everyone. "For me, movement is the best way for me to feel good physically and mentally. "When I sweat I feel like all of the negative energy is dripping out of my pores. It feels very healing for me. ??sMy goal with health and fitness is just to feel good in my body. Size or losing weight is not important. "That doesn't matter if you still do not feel good on the inside.??? Clarissa credits Instagram ??" and sharing her journey with others ??" for helping her embrace her figure. It has also given her a confidence boost when it comes to experimenting with fashion. She added: ??sIt allowed me to push boundaries with my clothing, wear things I never imagined wearing and break all of the fashion rules society had made for my body. "It took a lot of work to get to where I am now for the love of my body and it is a forever process. ??sI feel less alone with my thoughts because of Instagram. It is so great to feel like I am also inspiring others but also inspiring myself at the same time.??? However, the teacher admits that she has also been on the receiving end of negative comments from those who are quick to judge her health and size. Clarissa added: ??sPeople love to assume that I am lazy and that I am always just sitting around wasting my life away. "I honestly think that people who comment negatively on my posts are actually just uncomfortable with seeing a fat person have confidence and self-love with themselves. It probably says more about them than me.???
