Confidence is key. Being comfortable in your body is also very important. There are many ways you can feel happy and confident in your body; put in some badass music as you go about your day. You might think it doesn't work but it brings us confidence boosts through its powerful lyrics and catchy beats. It's helped me a lot through a situation similar to yours. I couldn't even walk down the street without feeling judged and sneered at. But music has helped incredibly well. If you want to physically do things that will help you in this time is to exercise, in whatever way you can. It could be daily strolls through your neighbourhood. It could be jogging in the early morning sunshine. It could be arranging to do fun recreational sports with friends, for example; swimming, skating, skiing, badminton, tennis, basketball or anything kind of sport that you can financially afford to participate in. To be completely honest, you are strong. You've gotten this far, and I know that you can go further. Few people see how absolutely incredible they are, it's so sad. You know why? Because we're like butterflies, beautiful creatures but unable to see our own wings. Because we're like fireflies, magical insects but unable to see our own glow. Because we're human. We see more flaws in ourselves than anyone else. You can look past those insecurities and fears, I know you can. Look past them and you'll see your wings.
