37F/140lbs/5'8" - been battling body dysmorphia/eating disorders most of my life; I've finally begun to accept and love my body, imperfections and all. 💛
I've gained 20 lb in the last year. It's not sustainable to rely on your "conventionally attractive" parts for confidence bc our bodies change constantly. It's a lesson I keep relearning.
I feel so great and confident about my progress. I used to get scared of standing naked even before my significant other before I lost my weight but that's no longer the case.
