I’ve had people say shit like that to me, I really don’t know why anyone ever feels the need to say anything other than “I’m so sorry that must be awful” but I understand ur pain Luckily I’m doing much better in this moment, but at one point in my life I was down to 91 pounds at 5’4, fighting for my life just to stay alive and by far the most damaging part of that entire experience was other people’s comments about my body, as much as I wanted to get better after losing 50 lbs,

Oh I know, I had cancer in high school and someone told me it was because of the microwave. You just have to smile and nod but it still catches me off guard when someone says something so foolish. I’m so glad you’re doing better!! Yes fucking looking good. (I will say I could’ve lost the first few pounds lol the treatment in high school made me overweight, so in its sickest way it was welcomed for a minute) but yk I wished I lost the weight from being healthy enough to go to the gym yk?
