However, this blog will continue to exist so that others who present masc / identify as male going forward can see bodies that validate their existence. Thank you so much for almost 10 years of community, positivity, and love. I’ve had a complicated relationship with food. as a kid, it was cute, but as i got older, it put a target on my back. when i got to high school it became even more problematic: i started binging and purging. as i lost weight, i still never felt like i was good enough. i started having body dysmorphia - furthering my problematic relationship with my body and hurting my mental health. this, coinciding with where i was attending school (a military boarding school), the situation became increasingly volatile. I couldn’t tell my family they were proud of the weight loss. i couldn’t tell my friends i thought they liked me now because i was skinnier. With my 10 year reunion next month, i’ve been reflecting on this period a lot.
