Have you ever been significantly more or less physically fit than you are today? What was different about that? What was easier? Harder? Did others treat you any differently?

Not really, I pretty much have had the same physique my entire life. Maybe I was a bit skinner as a child? And I got slightly chonkier in first year of undergrad.

I've always had a weird relationship with food. It was rougher in first year because I received a lot of judgment from family members about my sudden gain in weight, and that translated to me feeling guilty for eating (and stuff like that). I still remember Heike's family commenting that I could eat a lot and taking it as a huge insult.

If we're talking about athleticism then yeah, I was definitely less fit in high school. But my endurance for long stretches of physical activity changes often. I tend to be very bad at being consistent with exercise lol.
