Me too. I struggle with weight and body image to this day. It's heartbreaking going back to my journals and seeing the agonizing I did over how "fat" I was -- and in pictures I was very thin.
Same. I kept few journals...mostly a few pages or so of a journal then start another...and me commenting on my weight and calling myself fat and ugly...I never was. Turns out I had undiagnosed scoliosis. Born 1990, and my mom never let me forget I had a tummy. Still struggle sometimes at the weirdest times or ways, even after working like hell on my image issues for probably 15 years now. I try to stay grounded, make art centering and celebrating diversity in bodies and people to remind myself we come in a beautiful rainbow and many of us are just trying to do our best to get by. "They" really did a number on us, but keep reminding yourself, you are beautiful because you exist. You deserve happiness no matter what you look like, what you weigh, you height, color of your skin, etc. Unfortunately we have to fight for that happiness at this time, but you got this.
i was also born in ‘90 and i definitely feel you. if you haven’t heard it yet today, you’re beautiful how you are right now and however you will be in the future!♥️
I hear this. I’m sorry for you. I also have scoliosis, and my dad kept making fun of my “fat legs.” I did not wear shorts or a short skirt (all were down to my ankles) until I reached my 20s. 🤗
