(via ugly)

I’ve often thought about this, but perhaps in a different context. Would I be the same person if I had never gained all that weight? Would I still be “me”? Would I have developed my personality (which is largely that of the funny girl mixed in with a flirty side) if I had always been a size 8 like I am now? Would I be on a totally different path in life? I grew up being told that I had “such a pretty face.” Which is code for, “lose the weight and you’re probably attractive, fingers crossed.” Who would I have become if the circumstances (i.e., if I’d never been so heavy) been different?
