I've lost weight due to health issues in the past year, and it's so weird getting compliments on "looking great" in a body that I'm not happy with and didn't intend to have. I feel weak and sluggish. And I wasn't even big in the first place, I was at a comfortable/normal weight but now I'm just thinner.

I can understand how weird that must be. When you’re having one bodily experience but people assume you’re having another, it’s so disorienting. I hope your health issues resolve and that you feel better soon

Oh my God, that text made me cry. I'm already on my way to losing weight, but I haven't lost anything yet. I've been thinking about this injustice for a very long time, and every time I think about it, I feel sad. Thank you for your words.
