A question

That last post made me think about something. Self-worth. I was always a big kid growing up, "husky" they called us back then. I remember my step father telling me how embarrassed he was to be seen in public with me because of my weight. I was not truly obese, just chunky. My strength over others matched my larger weight. The question to you is "where does self-worth, the true inner belief that you are worth the air you breathe, come from when you have always been told otherwise"? I still wrestle with this one.
