I was always self-conscious about my body growing up. In middle school I had more curves, boobs, and was taller than all my friends. High school began, and I was hyper-aware of my growing and changing body, to the point where I began to restrict my eating in a very unhealthy way. I believed that was the only way I could possibly lose weight, which of course was far from true, far from safe, and also not sustainable.
