Not One More 2024 | Equip

I remember the first time the word fat was used as an insult to me — kindergarten. Recklessly thrown at me for just existing as a 5-year-old in a large body, the word fat became the thing I feared most. I began to see my body only as something to shrink.

They manipulate those suffering into isolating themselves from those they love most. Eating disorders can make people cancel dinner plans with friends because of anxiety about eating in public. They can convince an individual to tell lies about whether…
