I look ill right away. I&#8217;m quite a curvy, busty type of person.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I have to be very careful about what I eat because I put on weight really easily. My family are just those types of people who come from an entire background of women who naturally fit about a size 16-18. Every woman in my family looked like that.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;But I know that when I get bigger, I then stop exercising. Once I stop exercising, I start feeling sadder.

It is very daunting and overwhelming.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It&#8217;s been raining a lot there.
