Let me share with you a story I’ve never told. ☾
A story not that different from most people suffering from an eating disorder.
I used to struggle with the textbook definition of bulimia for 8 long years. Being in the entertainment industry since a young age means I had to learn to be judged for everything.
Weight, size, height, looks...
and the list goes on.
Growing up, I’ve always had my issues with weight and self-esteem. Paired along with the pressures of looking ‘good’ for the camera, it lead me down the rabbit hole of starving myself or making myself sick after a meal.
I’d curl up into a ball and cry sometimes. 😢 Cursed at those who made this crazy twisted ‘theory’ that we had to be skinny to look good on camera.
But then one day, I realised that to my LIFE is SO SO SO MUCH more than constantly worrying about food and weight.
And my body is MINE.
People can judge or say whatever they want, but it gives ME life and feeling BEAUTIFUL has nothing to do with the way I look.
It took me a while to recover. ✨
With some help from family and friends, I overcame it 5 years ago and I’m very proud of how far I’ve come.
Beauty is not a pimple-free face, or a tiny waist, or shiny hair, or any other picture perfect photos we were on social media.
It is who you are on the INSIDE.
