tldr; i'm proud of myself for not hating how i look despite my poor mental health :D
sorry if this post is worded strangely! i have a hard time posting anything due to intense anxiety, but i just feel really happy.
(15/ftm) ever since i can remember, my mother has been dieting, and for all that time she would continue to buy junk food and talk about her weight in front of me. it makes me uncomfortable because i've always been chubby, but when i was younger (maybe 13 or 14) i think i was close to developing an eating disorder. it made me uncomfortable to look at my reflection in the mirror. i had suicidal thoughts, i hated my body, and i hated myself.
at some point last year, however, i completely changed my view of myself. nowadays, i actually like myself and my body! i'm still dieting, but i mostly just want to become stronger through exercise (i've ordered ring fit for the switch, i'm looking forward to giving exercise a go!). i've begun to take better care of my body. i don't starve myself on purpose ever, or beat myself up for eating too much. and i'm so proud of myself for not hurting myself or developing an eating disorder :)
(also, i just want to make it clear that i'm not trying to shame people who suffer from eating disorders! i'm just glad i managed to stop myself from developing one.)
