Body Positivity for me has always been a bit of a struggle bus, I’ve come leaps and bounds from when I was younger.
I’ve always struggled with how I look, how much weight I carry and it has seriously affected me mentally over the years. Having BDD with horrible social anxiety I took to mainly making friends online and finding other people that typically ‘looked’ like me.
I’ve made so many friends a long the way, swapped stories and helped each other with getting through situations. I put myself out there and shared a lot of myself over the years, I’ve had some amazing comments, some not so amazing, but the experience and the confidence I get from it afterwards is great.
I feel now in my mid 30’s in a much better place and will continue to share myself and help others to feel great about themselves to, it’s not always easy but I feel the more people talk about it, the easier it is for people like me in my situation to find groups/ support when they need it most.
