“Beautiful is a concept I never saw myself achieving—a standard that wasn’t meant for bigger girls like me. It just didn’t exist, and I structured my understanding of beauty around what the conventional standard was in society. Flawless skin, no cellulite, perfectly proportioned boobs, a perky butt, a thigh gap, and a flat stomach. That was the beautiful I’d grown to know. And it was never going to be me.”
