I have struggled with my weight and physical appearance since I was 12.  In my mind I will never be pretty enough nor thin enough.  High school was difficult in the sense that was when I was my 'thinnest' and was terrified to eat much of anything.  As I get older, it’s easier for me to fight those thoughts but some days are much worse than others. However, university was the worse time for me when it came to this issue but with the help of two great friends and great support, I changed my lifestyle to incorporate a healthy diet and daily workouts. It’s a constant struggle but mentally and physically, this is the healthiest I’ve ever been.
