hey guys, sorry for the no updates lately. i’ve been struggling with shit. my whole childhood i was always really skinny. i ate a healthy amount of food and still always stayed about the same weight and build. now that i’ve developed and grown (mainly height, still flat af) if i bloat, or eat literally anything i feel fat. i’ve never felt this way before about my body. (i’m 5’9, female and 125 lbs)

@the_dramatic_one honestly same. i'm in this weird limbo of being called too skinny by other kids, and too fat by my parents. either way i don't feel good. i mean i've finally gotten abs but there's not much i can *healthily* do about the rest of me, and i think you should remember that too. because i know we're all still in this awkward growing stage and we're starting to feel insecure about everything our bodies are going through, and beauty standards do NOTHING to ease your conscience. but in this time our bodies will be a bit disproportionate; and that's okay because we are still growing and how we look is in fact not as bad as we think it is. honest to god, nobody cares how much you weigh, what you wear, etc. if everyone in a class weighed themselves how many people would remember nobody else's weights and only their own? also, bloating is totally normal. it's really disgusting that it's not normalized at all and we make ourselves feel bad about ourselves over nothing, it's a normal thing and should be treated as such. eating is a fact of survival, a fact of life, a fact of enjoyment. don't let how you're perceived stop you from doing what you want. all i'm really trying to say is don't go down the self-hate road. sorry for the long reply, loll
