Trigger warning: In this episode I mention eating disorders, attempted suicide and how my cousin's went through one or both those experiences. 

Full Disclosure: This Episode is based on personal experience and PERSONAL EXPERIENCE ALONE. I'm not stating that everyone from the Hispanic Culture acts in this manner. This is just how my family is/was and how I grew up seeing what they did and said, not only to my cousins, but to me and my siblings as well. It's very unfortunate, that image, what you own and what kind of career you have is everything to them. I have my family and the people that I care about in my life. I would never wish this experience we went through on anyone. No child should be body shamed or judged for how they appear physically. That shit sticks with you as an adult. That feeling of not being good enough or looking good enough sticks with you.

Thank you, Mom for showing us how much you cared and doing anything and everything to find clothes that made us feel COMFORTABLE and not just going with a name brand or telling us we needed to lose weight. Also, Thank you for the genes. :) Thanks for listening, everyone!
