So basically, in high school I had bulimia and my main target of self hatred was at my hips and thighs. It was during the "thigh gap era" where a gap between your thighs when your knees were touching was idealized. I was counting calories down to the decimal and I never got my thigh gap. Fast forward 6-7 years, graduated from college, no more bulimia, a healthier relationship with food, in a new college for a Vet Tech degree, working out whenever I can make it to the gym, once twice a week, and eating only when I'm hungry. I haven't been weighing myself or criticizing any parts of myself, and had honestly forgotten about the whole thigh gap trend.. that is until I took a look at myself in the mirror today and realized- I finally have one! And I wasn't even trying! I guess taking care of yourself has some pretty unexpected benefits :)
