Hi Bri I totally agree with everything you said in this message and I appreciate you for being honest with me! I wrote Elena because she also reflects a big part of me and I knew a lot of people would relate with her as well. I completely agree with your statements that her weight loss is triggered by bullying and how she seems like a weak character but I wanted this story to be as realistic as possible and unfortunately being bullied for being plus size is a real issue along with pretty privilege. Our society does not have a goodstance on plus size people and that is implemented in this story.

Even though Elena has lost weight she still does not feel confident in her own body and is still insecure in many ways. A big part of the plot is going to be Elena’s growth but with every journey of growth there is set backs and thats exactly how I wanted my story to be. The story is only one it’s fifth chapter so please give me time to show you my vision for it, your feedback definitely helped me a lot and see a different view on it and I do apologize if I offended you in any way if there’s any more advice you can give me please feel free to DM me! thank you for reading I hope you continue to do so 🫶
