Hey! My name is Ellie and I'm in my 30s. I've been living in this urban city for years now and I have to say it's not an easy place to be in if you're someone who doesn't fit the "beauty standards" set by society.
It hasn't always been like this though, growing up I was a pretty average kid. I had friends, enjoyed school, and was never really bullied or anything like that. But then puberty hit me like a ton of bricks and everything changed.
I started gaining weight rapidly, even though I wasn't eating any more than usual. My body just seemed to be programmed to store fat. And on top of that, my boobs never really developed either, so I was pretty much stuck with this skinny figure for good.
Of course, that didn't stop people from judging me or making fun of me. I was constantly called "skinny bones" and other hurtful nicknames. And it wasn't just the kids at school either - adults were often worse.
But you know what? I'm here now, and I'm not going anywhere. Yes, I may have a body that society considers "unattractive," but hey, at least I'm healthy right? And anyway, who needs society's approval when we have each other?
