When I was 15, I was 50 lbs lighter than I am now. And to maintain that kind of shape, I became my body's enemy. Now, at my much heartier weight, I actually love and accept myself much more. It's so weird.
You're beautiful now, and you were then, too! Good luck with self-esteem-- it's an uphill battle, just like everything else of so much value.
