I didn’t plan on making this caption long, the plan was actually to quote Drake with, “how about now?” But there is actually so much more than 3 words that contribute to society’s recent acceptance of my body. Pictured on the left is myself at my heaviest weight, 158lbs during last winter. I was on various medications that transformed my body from fit, to 2 dozen pounds of flab. I hated myself. I hated pictures. I would binge eat. I would eat my feelings. I was constantly called the fat girl. I was tired of being the victim this early summer after a boy and a girl commented on a picture of myself( one that at the time I felt confident in) calling me fat. For a long time my goal for getting under 130 was to prove them wrong, which is definitely not the case now. Today I tried on a bathing suit, and then I knew all my hard work was for ME. I NEVER imagined I would be comfortable in a bathing suit let alone a bikini. (Yes it is winter, I know). Pushing myself to this goal of loving my body showed me how unauthentic people really are. Boys who would make fun of my weight are now the boys who all of a sudden realized they are in love with me and I refuse to give them the time of day for they seem to be unaware of what they did to my self esteem in the past. For a while, my goal was to be accepted. Today, the only person that needs to approve of me is myself.
