Growing up I battled with body insecurities and hated myself to the point I wished to be anorexic, right from nursery school I was always called fat by friends and family members, they’d say I will be a giant when I get older. Fast forward to now, guess who’s quite slim and guess who are now fat and struggling to lose weight. The ones that called me fat. Asides this, words about my body still gets to me, I get really bloated when I’m about to get my period and people make unsolicited comments like “you just dey chop anyhow”, “you don dey fat”, it still really gets to me😔. I guess there’s actually no escaping, words really do hurt.
