I’ve never been satisfied with my body. When I was 13-17, I hated the way I looked—I wanted a flat tummy and a slimmer figure, even though I was already thin, had a sharp jawline, and my stomach was already flat. Yet, I still found myself tucking it in, as if it wasn’t enough. No matter how I looked, I still saw myself as fat. The irony is, I never did anything to change it. Then, when I turned 18-19, I actually gained weight—my face got bigger, and my tummy wasn’t flat anymore. That’s when I realized I had never truly been satisfied with my body, no matter what shape it was. Now, I wish I could go back to my old self, but I struggle to. More than anything, I just want to learn to love my body as it is.
