So I’ve always been very slightly overweight. Not technically but my stomach isn’t flat. Then I got super sick and dropped 40 pounds in two months. Everyone was congratulating me and saying I looked so much better. It hurt because I knew that once I got better, I’d faint the weight back. People also gave me shit about being too thin. It was because I was sick first of all. And second, I always thought that once I was thin, no one could make me feel bad about my body because I wasn’t “fat” anymore. It wasn’t true. I felt like I looked like a 12 year old boy because that’s what people said. I realized quickly that people will always say things to bring me down and unless I own my body, I’ll never be happy with it. Words always hurt. No matter which side you’re talking your shit from.
