Sara

I wasn't meant to be a super skinny kid.

And unfortunately, I had pressures from one of my parents.

My mom was very thin, very beautiful.

And she grew up in a different time.

And

uh you know there was just like always like oh do you really need to have seconds or wow i can't believe you weigh that much i think i took more after my my father's genetics which are like a little bit more you know muscular and just like naturally have like a little more meat on my bones so

I was dealing with that pressure and then obviously like, you know, general societal pressures.

But then, you know, when I got in my late teens, I, you know, I started running and really running was the thing.

And I found that running was, you know, very good also for my mental health.

But, you know, like I still I still didn't feel like, oh, I weighed what I wanted to weigh.

And of course, I was like very attached to the scale because, you know, I grew up like getting on the scale every day and running.

Yeah.

And I have learned that, you know, I've gone through periods, years and years where I've never gotten on a scale because, you know, I've gone through periods of my life where I'm just like, you know what, that doesn't matter.

And in a lot of ways, like.

You know, your body composition, you know, like someone can, you know, a woman can weigh, you know, whatever, 160 pounds or something and be muscular and svelte.

And I was always I mean, once I, you know, once I, you know, started developing, I mean, I was very curvy.

I had like, you know, big boobs and a round ass.

Yeah, I know.

But like in the in the early 90s, like, you know, hair and chic was still very attractive.

And, you know, the waif was very, you know, that was like what was very attractive.
