This ideology is why I started posting on social media in the first place. When I was big, I wanted to find people who actually understood the struggle to listen to their advice; and it's incredibly hard to find. People that haven't *legitimately* struggled with their weight, don't really understand what it's like, and while they can do their best to empathize, it's just not the same.
