About ten years ago my newish DP said something about me being very slow walking up hills. My DM replied ‘Baby Dragon’s always been slow. You won’t get her to go any faster’
Now ten years later, after only a month on iron tablets, I find I can easily walk briskly up hills and the sensation is familiar.
I’m feeling a bit sad thinking that if my whole family hadn’t convinced me I was basically fat and lazy then maybe I would have realised there was something wrong years ago. They have been saying things like ‘doesn’t like to exert herself’ since I was a teenager.
Is there anything I can do with this realisation - that I’m actually not particularly fat and lazy?
