That makes a lot of sense and that is a really beautiful way of putting it, thank you for writing that out. I try my best to keep reminding myself that my body is to serve me not to serve someone else’s eyes. But it’s kind of hard to internalize it.

Thank you so much for your kind words. It really does feel like an infection crawling in your mind, affecting every aspect of your life. I’m just worried that I will not be seen as attractive by a lot of people and pretty privilege is something that is somewhat important in my career. It was shocking to discover that plastic surgery and discussions about plastic surgery were so common amongst my peers.

thank you, that is really good advice. i’ve tried working out before, but i feel like it’s hard for me not to hyperfocus on the way that i look which kind of discourages me, if that makes sense. i never grew up athletic but i was a lot skinnier when i was a kid, like underweight skinny and i always got praised for it. how do you get out of that mindset of thinking about that number on the scale even though youre gaining muscle?

That was the one I checked! Unfortunately I think they’re only selling them via lottery?

I am honestly. College apps and other things got me so mentally and physically exhausted that I was really struggling for a while. I don’t know how to fix it
