She admitted that her vision of herself remains constant since she said her body has “fluctuated” for so much of her life. “My brain has never caught up with knowing if I was bigger or smaller or what I actually looked like. It was everyone on the outside telling me that for me,” Bader added.

“I am a lot bigger than my body and will always be the same Remi no matter what I weigh, and that I am sure of,” she finished.
