The 38-year-old has come a long way since then.
“I look at her and can’t believe that little hurting girl was subjected to this.
What does that say to everybody else in the world?”
This new mindset didn’t happen overnight.
Dunham has been open about her relationship with her body and the public scrutiny of it for years.
In 2019, she wrote aboutfeeling her best while at a heavier weightin an Instagram post.
“I love the most I ever have.
I read and write and laugh the most I ever have.
And I’m the happiest I’ve ever been.”
“When will we learn to stop equating thinness with health/happiness?”
she wrote in an Instagram caption.
“Of course weight loss can be the result of positive change in habits, but guess what?
So can weight gain.”
And it’s certainly no one’s business except the person living in that body.
