My Body Stories Hard
My confidence has always been a roller-coaster. I remember always being overweight and short. It runs in my family. I was in the sixth grade when I noticed that I was a little bit heavier than the other kids. I couldn't wear kid uniform pants so I had to get men's Dickie's because they were the only things that fit. At one point I had this bathing suit that I would wear under my uniform, EVERYDAY, because it smoothed out the lumpiness of my body.
Starting Point
I am the one in black. I don't even know where it started. The worst thing in my life and I don't even know how it started. I don't even have a starting point OR an ending point.

This site is here as an accurate reflection of what real women look like. All women.
Why?
A recent study found that 95% of non-eating disordered women overestimate the size of their hips by 16% and their waists by 25%, yet the same women were able to correctly estimate the width of a box.

Want To Swap Bodies?
02/24/2012

This picture is me.

I've received fanmail over it.

I have heard a million times "you're SO lucky, I wish I had your body".

 

I never needed to diet or exercise - it's my natural shape.

It runs in the family - my mother (and the mother of my 3 siblings) has the same figure... I once borrowed her bikini for a photoshoot.

The picture was taken a few years back, but I have the exact same weight now, I look the same.

Only difference: I was on a healthy spell then.

Only right now, I'm having a bad spell.

I have ME/CFS and am housebound.

I cannot sit upright for more than a few minutes, I need pillows to support me.

I am dependent on others for daily care.

On a good day, I can knit or crochet for a little while.

That's what it's like to be me.

Who wants to swap bodies?

...Thought not.
