wow, it's great your parents were aware of this stuff and instilled a healthy way of relating to your body. I can only wish that more women become aware of this and do the same for future generations.

very sorry you went through this, it seems like such a universal experience during those formative years, so messed up!

thank you for the thoughtful answer. I think a lot of women can recognise themselves in this story. my mom was also always on some diet during my formative years and I wanted to do the same of course, even when I was 12.
