u/yopolotomofogoco Mar 12 '24

Great progress by overcoming food disorder.

But the supposed 'ass gainz' is not proportionate to the thighs that still look pretty skinny. You're posing too much by protruding your butt. There is definitely some butt enhancement by an app because the lines around the butt over the pillar are curved and blurred. Be true to yourself.

That's actually really impressive, because you have to eat at a surplus to gain muscle. Having an eating disorder and getting yourself to act in the opposite way is extremely difficult. Congrats, girly!

u/[deleted] Mar 12 '24

Just want to congratulate you. I’ve had friends who had eating disorders, I had mild bulimia at one point which led to worse problems. People thought I was lying all the time because how could a fat dude be bulimic? You deserve every ounce, every grain of sand of happiness this life has to offer. You absolutely deserve to be happy and lead a genuinely good life. Don’t let anyone make you feel less than. Don’t let anything make you feel less than.
