As far back as I can remember, I’ve struggled to accept my body.
I remember being no older than 11 and begging my mom not to make me go into the Macy’s dressing room. I hated playing with Barbies. I envied the girls who could fit into Abercrombie and Fitch and Lululemon.
I went to an affluent private school in a conservative area, one that emphasized perfection in all aspects, including personal appearance.
As an overweight theatre kid, I felt I didn’t make the cut.
