I’ve always been underweight. In the last 5 years in particular, there have been times when my weight was concerningly low. Times when all I could see was my ribs and hips showing through my skin, and despair about ever reaching and maintaining a healthy weight.
But right now, it’s okay. I’m still not in the range I would consider ideal for my height and build, but I noticed recently that I can’t even see my collarbone anymore. That’s amazing, and right now it’s all I see when I look in the mirror. I don’t know how long it will last so I’m trying to appreciate the small amount of extra padding while I’ve got it.
