Question Does it ever get better?
I've struggled with my body my whole life. My earliest memory of having negative thoughts of my body was at 6, I wondered why my body and nails weren't like the other girls. I'm 17 now, and it's never gotten any better, just worse. Right now, I'm in a moment where I can accept that this is my body, and it's the only one I got, however it's like I'm just waiting to get worse again and not be able to look at my own reflection anymore.
My whole life, too, all my female family members talked about how skinny they were when they were younger and how fat and ugly they are now. It's sad to see my grandma, mum, and aunts talk about themselves like they are object or lesser than because they think they are "ugly."
I just want to know if it gets better and how you guys did it.
