I was chubby as a kid, lost weight in my mid-teens, and now in my late 20s I've become slightly overweight again due to stress eating.
It's been an interesting experience. As a kid, I absolutely despised feeling trapped in my fat body and being teased for it. I welcomed the unintentional weight loss in my teens with open arms. But in college, I couldn't help but think that I looked a little lanky.
Now that I'm overweight again in my late 20s, I honestly don't care that much? If anything, having a fuller appearance has removed my anxieties about looking "lanky" and "like a teenager". If anything, I think I'm taken slightly more seriously now that I'm bigger.
Posting this because I have enough on my plate, and I'm grateful that I at least have managed body image issues relatively well.
