​My Body Wasn't Lazy; It Was Fighting a Different Battle. Content Warning.

​I have always wanted to lose weight and have the perfect body. It wasn’t always an obsession, though. In my childhood and teenage years, I was a chubby girl, but that never truly bothered me. Back then, acne was my biggest enemy. Having rough skin in high school felt far more painful than carrying extra weight. There were also a lot of chubby girls in my high school, so my weight wasn't a big issue. There is comfort in numbers, after all.
