Remember to eat lots if nutrient packed food and to lose weight at a healthy pace.
As an ugly duck to swan I agree, it’s a lot nicer to be treated kindly and be seen as a attractive. My bigger problem was the incredibly callous and kind of messed up comments people started saying to me after I started being pretty. Like girls saying looking at me made them want to have an eating disorder or how they hated themselves because of me. I want people to love themselves and feel comfortable so I struggled for a couple years with that and would cry whenever I got home about it. Just be warned people also start to be more critical of your other skills and traits to “humble you” as well or attribute your academic success to being pretty and the teachers just liking you more. (Didn’t help I was in a male dominated major and even guy friends would say shit like the teacher just liked me because I was a woman even though I was the only one going to office hours consistently and only went out once a month so I could focus on studying, but no it was because the teacher wanted to fuck me that I was doing so well,ugh)
Now that I’m out of college it isn’t bad but it was a bit rough after a high school experience of being everyone ugly but well liked little sister. I agree that you want to experience the other side, I know I did in high school, and with healthy choices and self confidence I’m sure you can. I do sometimes feel nostalgic for when I flew under the radar though, just wanted to add a bit of perspective from someone who made the leap. Rooting for you!
