#LasMujeresRealesTienenCurvas: rediscover-me: I will probably end up regretting posting this, because even considering it is literally making me sick to my stomach, but I’m trying to be more proud than embarrassed. Elementary through High school years were miserable for me. I didn’t know what it was like to not be made fun of and laughed at on an hourly basis. I was nice, funny, and strong-willed, so it didn’t destroy me,  but hard isn’t even close to what describes my experiences as a kid. I had to go through a lot with my family. I started watching my brothers and sister from the time I was about 8 by myself while my mother worked, and due to their addiction issues, it got worse from there. I was a very sad person but I tried to hide it as best as I could from everyone else, as well as myself. Even to this day, I block out a lot of my childhood just to try to get past it. What I had to go through, on top of being so overweight is nothing I would wish on my worst enemy. I moved to Puerto Rico after high school and had Gastric Bypass surgery nine days after my 18th birthday. It was painful, and not being with my immediate family was miserable, but I would change nothing about that because it changed so much of my life for the better. I lost 120 pounds and it was amazing. After I had Aidan, I gained some of it back and I didn’t start to lose it again until about six months ago. I took that picture yesterday and after looking through Facebook, it’s the first time I’ve really realized how far I’ve come. I know I’m nowhere near perfect. I know my arms, and thighs, and butt are huge. I know I’m not by any means skinny. But I’m starting to truly be happy and feel all-around good about what I look like from the neck down, and that is one of the best things that has ever happened to me.
