I have struggled with my Avoirdupois my whole life with a college BF saying that I had the mind set of someone with anorexia. Although I’ve not experienced anorexia, I have struggled with eating disordered thinking. I always preferred to exercise to manage my weight rather than restrict my eating. I’m hungry dammit! Plus exercise has the added benefit of managing depression and anxiety. I read too many fashion magazine and bought into the thinner is better mentality and that I could only be attractive to a guy if I were skinny. My avoirdupois is less of an issue as a middle aged woman but it’s still lurking in my brain and behavior.
