Ever since I started working out my legs and developing a butt, chairs seem so much more comfortable now. lol

I know right!! My butt and thighs have always been kinda big relative to the rest of my body, but people underestimate how comfortable having a huge lower body actually is lmao. Plus sweatpants feel great. I hardly ever wear jeans anymore

I draw the line when I can't tie up my own shoes any more.

Yeah, I clearly don't want to be morbidly obese either, but body acceptance has been a struggle for me though it's an important one to go through. I lived so much of my life being so terrified of being fat that I don't think I ever did enough self-care. Most people gain a lot of weight after recovering from anorexia and most come to the conclusion that their bodies were never the problem to begin with.

I very deliberately always carry a little extra weight, if I get sick or if I get stressed my body burns it up pretty quick and that makes me glad it was there.

When I was a teenager I went through the borderline anorexia period because of bullying. I was not fat. Now, I am trying to make sure that I am balanced. that i have enough sweet in the week (only on weekends) to keep me going so I dont end up eating a full Chocolate cake (I did that at university, fun times) and other things every day.

But also managing to try to be more active. I fell into some nasty habits during lockdown. =)
