In the nine months that followed that one-off sighting of 325 on my scale, I gained 75 pounds back. In an attempt to “shame” me into a smaller body, I’ve been told that I’ll drop dead from a heart attack any moment now (I’ve been hearing that one since I was 15). I was bullied as a kid, too, but the way my brain is hardwired, it never really bothered me much. I’ve been 100% able to accept my body, and I’ve been unable to accept it at all.
