Absolutely. I hated my body, felt very uncomfortable with my hips, breasts and my size compared to my peers, and that's part of what triggered my ED. But those feelings didn't persist as I got older (although I do still struggle with eating issues). I really like a feminine body now and I'm very 'female' in the way that I'd love bigger breasts, like my hips etc.

	There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: 'This glass is half full'. And then there are those who say: 'This glass is half empty'. The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: 'What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass! Terry Pratchett
