Not proud to share that I’ve been Fat-phobic, I didn’t understand at the time why or what it even meant.

I lived in fear of being fat during my teenage years, because everywhere I had been shown that success, desirability, popularity and acceptance was only for those in societies parameters of body size and beauty ideals.

The stigmatisation those in bodies outside societies norm face impacts their lives everyday. Not to mention the mental illnesses spawned from the fear of “not fitting in” “not looking normal” and the isolation and exclusion from discrimination and bullying.

I wish I had known better, I wish I’d have never held myself to impossible standards or judged / stereotyped others. I know better now, recovery truly is a gift.

And to the many of you reading this who are struggling with your body image, or unaware of your relationship with your weight @neda has a free online screening so you can figure out the help or support you may need.

Because it’s not easy, everything has been stacked against you to not feel enough, from the photoshopped images and unrealistic beauty ideals to education around food that is confusing and damaging.

But please know you truly are enough just being you, that’s the best you can be and I pray you know that you’re meant to be here and you are loved❤️
