Hi guys - I'm just checking in with this thread - me, the head case - almost 2 years out - almost one year maintaining - still having body image issues. But it is getting better. I still go into clothing stores and don't feel like I'm one of those small girls that buy the small sizes. I kinda feel like the 2Ps are just a fluke of sizing.
This past weekend was a huge wake up call about how light I really am. I was at a Taekwondo tournament and my last 2 rounds I had to spar girls that outweighed me by over 50 pounds each. I really felt like a light weight. When I was blocked, I actually fell to the ground a couple of times b/c of the sheer weight of the block.
I'm still working through my issues . . . but I know I'm small.
