Dating : This is a courageous share. Thank you Stephanie D. Lewis.

This is a courageous share. Thank you Stephanie D. Lewis.

My girlfriend has also navigated an eating disorder for years and has shared similar stories when dating slighter men.

What’s more, she shared that almost all of her friends have felt similarly — to less intense degrees.

It’s a reflection of toxic standards placed upon both women to be small, men to be big and tall and for this to be the only suitable dynamic.

Your story adds nuance and insight to this conversation.

Thank you — wishing you wellness and self-acceptance.
