Hey guys! Welcome to another shared news from home! Before we get into what Hannah shared, if you’re new here… As always… So Hannah uploaded a new extremely candid video to her YouTube channel where she shares with fans her struggles over the years with body image and disordered eating… She opened up about the pressures she’s put on herself from a young age revealing: She used to look through Limited Too catalogs as a pre-teen and compare herself to the models she saw on the pages. "I had a really round face, like I still do now, and huge dimples," Brown said. "Everyone would always comment on my 'little chubby face.'" The reality star also said that she "always hated" her legs and detailed that she struggled with not having a thigh gap after a girl in her dance class made a comment about what "perfect legs" should look like. DISCUSS: so brave of her to share her story...so many young girls can relate to this! Hannah also talked about how her relationship with food took an unhealthy turn in her teen years… recalled her peers telling her as a teenager that she was "pretty, but I was a little curvy or thick," which she said hurt her feelings deeply. "If they only knew how much that hurt me because I struggled with it so much," she explained. She went on to say that her body image issues reached a peak when she entered the pageant world, adding she went on an "extreme diet" after a close friend told her she should only eat and drink liquids to lose weight. DISCUSS: important to talk about dangers of extreme dieting... She talked about how her struggles led to anxiety and depression… "I was so scared of gaining the weight. I definitely think I struggled with an eating disorder. I had disordered eating, that is for sure," she said. "I would work out in the mornings with a trainer and I was so small and had no energy that I couldn't even really do the workouts that I used to do." More recently during her time on The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, where she said being around "all these beautiful women that are all so small" was hard for her. She also detailed that competing on Dancing with the Stars reinforced those negative feelings about her weight as well, adding, "It's hard when you're always around other beautiful, professional women that dance ...." Nowadays, however, Brown said she is instead focused on loving herself and her body. said she is hopeful that sharing her story with her own body image issues will help others dealing with the same, as she attempts to be a "more authentic, real version" of herself. "I needed to dig deep emotionally in who I want to be," she added, "... Thank goodness I've grown and changed and so has my body." DISCUSS: so happy for her and inspired by her courage!
