So I've always admired the girls of SG for the longest time. When growing up I wasn't always the smallest person. I used to be a thicker girl. I was always teased in middle school and high school because I was bigger. That always made me have issues with my self confidence. I had a ton of medical problems that would prevent me from losing weight. I was able to turn my life around and lose a ton of weight. I used to be 250 lbs at 5'3", but I was able to lose 125 lbs! I lost a whole person!
Once I dropped this weight, I started to look at myself differently. I started to see myself as beautiful and my self confidence began to blossom. I still struggle from time to time with body dysmorphia, but I'm learning to love my body and all of its flaws. I may have stretch marks and scars from past surgeries from many of my health issues, but it's what made me who I am today, a warrior. I see my imperfections as badges of honor. I'm feeling beautiful in my skin, and that's what I admired the most about SG! All of the beautiful girls on this site come in all different shapes and sizes and they are so beautiful and confident! That's what I strive to be, and I hope that one day I'll be as confident as they are!
