*TRIGGER WARNING*
see description for details

The summer of 2019 was officially one of the worst ones ever.

I hated my body the entire time.

Every time I wore shorts, I felt like my butt was hanging out of them.

Every time I wore a swimsuit, I felt like I was wearing one 20 sizes too small.

Every time I left my house, I was terrified of what people would think of me.

I was terrified that people would judge me.

I now had a gap between my thighs.

My tummy was completely flat.

But I couldn't see it.

I didn't see any of it.

I sometimes wonder now how I could have missed it.

I guess I was kind of pretty then.

Prettier than I am now.

My mum and my sister would often comment on my slim figure.

However I just ignored them.

I wasn't as thin as they made out I was.

I was fat.

Fat, fat, fat, fat, FAT.

That's all I could see when I looked in the mirror.

I tried to eat less and exercise more, but it was so hard with my family around all the time.

If something was optional, I never ate it. I tried to avoid things like ketchup and salad dressing especially.

If I had the chance to walk to the shops etc, I would go because it burned off extra calories.

I didn't track everything I ate at this point, but I was quite aware of it.

And quite aware of how every mouthful added more fat to my body.
