Why don’t I see it. I’ve always struggled with body image. I grew up chubby, and even though I’m slimmer now, around a size 10, I still focus on my arms and tummy and don’t naturally see myself as beautiful or sexy. But people often compliment my body and say I have a great physique, I look toned and can wear almost anything. I’m starting to wonder if my self-image is still shaped more by who I used to be than by how I actually look now.
