I was always considered the athletic one, and that translated into big. I was the big one. Thankfully, so many more body types are accepted these days. What I've been trying to do, and I'm seeing more now with my girlfriends, too, is celebrate other people.

I've never found therapy to be a sign of weakness I've found the opposite to be true. The willingness to have a mirror held up to you definitely requires strength.
