You see, I used to be skinny. Like, very very skinny despite all the food I ate. All my life I had to deal with people (who weren't family, my family always knew that I didn't have any eating disorder) spying on how many food I had in my plate, if I ate it all, if I went to the bathroom right after - I always tried to not go peeing after a meal in public because of that. I mean.
Last year doctors eventually found out that it was a thyroid issue, gave me pills to correct it and since then I've been gaining 13 kgs. I'm incredibly happy, mostly because I proved everyone (think co-workers, acquaintances, some doctors) that I didn't have any eating disorders. But it's been hard, especially dealing with some people who felt entitled to judge without knowing anything.
