<human>: So, a little background! Currently I'm 5'1 and 20 years old, and since childhood I've essentially always been fat. My parents were busy so I was raised on a McDonald's diet, and being naturally shy I started turning to food for feelings of emotional connection/relief from a young age.

 A lot of emotional damage from that throughout the years, and until I decided to start losing weight (and even through the process that continues today) I never even thought the word "thin" could be ascribed to me. 

My SW was 174-ish lbs, my CW is 134 lbs (my GW is 125) and for the first time in my life I was called thin! Totally randomly in a casual conversation! I was so shocked that I couldn't stop saying "What?!" confusedly.

The best part is that before this I was stuck at 143-ish lbs for an entire academic year, which was just awful. One of the reasons for the plateau, I think, was probably that I just couldn't really see myself--my current or future self. I was stuck in a mindset of "always have been fat, always will be fat, so there's no point."

To be honest, 5'1 and 134lbs is not that thin at all (especially seeing as though I'm in Japan right now), but it is comparatively so much better than I used to be.

I'm excited for the future, and I know this sounds so small, but I never thought anyone would ever call me that. I never thought I could ever reach a level of being called 'thin!'

Provide a brief overview of the text.
