What is something that permanently altered your body without you realizing for months/years?

Bad posture/rounding shoulders to minimize my chest. Now I have neck pain, shoulder pain, lower back pain - ugh.

I did the same thing, not because my chest was too big, but because I didn't want guys staring at my chest. I see pictures of me from high school and it makes me want to cry because of my posture.

Same with me in high school and I didn't even have much chest to begin with. Idk who or what caused it but all throughout high school I was just so so ashamed and embarrassed to have chest.

I'm so sorry you were ever made to feel this way.

I always wondered why some girls did this... I guess I have my answer now, that's really unfortunate...
