Thank you for sharing your story. I related to so much of it, especially growing up and feeling larger than everyone else. I have some specific memories like you that were triggering, but when I look back at photos now, I don’t see a body that was all that different. Still, I spent most of my life trying to shrink myself to an “ acceptable” size.
Thank you so much for your empathy. Unfortunately, I am not alone. I think many more people than we realize have had similar experiences, maybe not around body size but with other things personal to them. Thanks so much for reading 💜

the right to take up space is something stolen from most in a larger body - regardless of how large is defined. thanks for sharing.
I’m sorry you had all of these harmful experiences. ❤️
