Were any of you the "hot one" in your past?
I recently started talking to some of my friends from high school that I haven’t spoken to in like 4 years. We were looking through old pictures of us, and honestly it was such a reality check. Back in high school, i was literally the "hot friend." I had a really good figure, a nice body, and felt like i could get with pretty much anyone I wanted. fast forward to now and I’ve gained over 100 pounds since graduation. I went through a really bad drinking problem for a while and was getting high basically every single day, and i just completely let myself go. I’ve gotten past the heavy drinking now, though I still get high a lot, but looking at those old photos compared to now hits so hard. I’m definitely not that "hot girl" anymore and it feels so surreal trying to process it all. Has anyone else ever been through a similar situation or experienced a shift like this after high school?
