My name is Hanna, I am 19 years old. I have struggled with my perception of a healthy weight since I was 13 (hit puberty.) I always look back at pictures from years ago and think how good I used to look, but then I remember that back then I felt fat too. Since then I have never been happy with my body, and I want to get back to a healthy weight. I am currently 165 and 5′5 I am very athletic so I do not look my weight, but I personally am never happy.
