Blogging Challenge Day 19 – What would you tell your teenage self?

19. What would you tell your teenage self?

I would definitely tell my teenage self that I am not as fat as I thought I was. I weighed 135 in 7th grade, which yeah wasn’t thin, but I wasn’t extremely overweight like I am now. But I had family members telling me I needed to lose weight and that I was fat and to not eat so much and all that stuff that can hurt a young girl’s self esteem. Yes, I did need to lose weight, but I was believing I was way heavier than I really was. I would also say to not try and “mother hen” my siblings, especially my brother, as much as I did. He was born when I 10 and I was taking care of him from pretty much the beginning while my parents were working or my mom was doing housework or something, so I got used to be being motherly towards him.
