I was looking back at old photos from when I was living with my abusers. As I was scrolling through, I realized that right before I got out, I was at my thinnest. Not thin as in unhealthy thin, just thin as in a wasn't in the shape my body has always been. It was an abnormal disappearance of soft corners on my face, I looked old, gaunt even. Looking through these helped me gain a better appreciation for my body. Knowing how I looked in a horrible situation, helped me realize that even if my body doesn't fit the beauty standard, this is me at my healthiest mental state.

This is so beautifully put. As someone who gained over 50 pounds shortly after leaving my abuser, I have been struggling to love my body’s new shape. Reading this has really put things into a different light for me. Thank you so much for sharing this. I’m so glad you’re doing better. I wish you nothing but the best. 💕
