I’ve always struggled with my body image.
I went to an all-girls school, and I was very athletic.
I was taller than the other girls, bulkier.
I always looked messy from playing sports during break time.
I always got called a tomboy and was given only “manly” roles at school plays.
In college, it got better, but then I got diagnosed with PCOS.
That made me gain a lot of weight that I couldn’t lose easily.
It was one of the side effects of this disease.
I was on a constant diet and worked out every day with no progress,
And that's when my colleagues at work started bullying me.
“Aren’t you upset that you’re constantly on a diet and you never lose any weight?”
“Why are you on a diet? You won't lose any weight anyway.”
“I saw old photos of you looking great. What happened to you?
Did you lose all self-control?”
