"I will be happier when I'm skinny".

What a dangerous thing I believed.

I got to my goal weight (left, 48kg, I'm 173cm btw), but I was still extremely unhappy and had probably the worst self-esteem.

I sacrificed my physical health, mental health and emotional well-being due to social and cultural pressure, that prioritized thinness as the ideal standard of beauty.

I've had people say, "You looked much better when you were skinny".
They don't understand, and they will never understand the amount of pain, stress and torture I put myself through.

Me on the right:
This is true happiness.
Self-acceptance, positive relationship with food, getting stronger physically and mentally, and not caring about what people are saying because...who are 'they' anyways?

Instead of trying to be the smallest version of yourself, focus on your health. Once you change that, I promise you, you’re going to be in a different world. A better one ☺️
