10 years ago, I was skinnier. But I was also deeply unwell. Struggling with an eating disorder and poor mental health, I was trapped in a cycle of unhappiness that no amount of weight loss could fix.
Today, I’m heavier—and happier than I’ve been in a long time. I’ve been prioritizing my mental health with medication, self-care, and a lot of self-compassion. I’ve learned that looks can be so deceiving. Being thin doesn’t always mean being healthy or happy.
This is your reminder that weight is not a measure of worth or wellness. Healing takes time, and it’s not always visible from the outside. I’m grateful for how far I’ve come and the strength it’s taken to embrace this version of myself. 💛
