One of the biggest and most challenging obstacles in my life has been accepting myself. I’m not only talking about my inner self but also my physical appearance. In a world dominated by social media, it’s easy for anyone to feel insecure, and I certainly fell into that trap.
I used to dislike myself so much that I decided to exercise regularly and eat only healthy foods. Unfortunately, this led to a struggle with an eating disorder. I saw so many beautiful girls on TikTok, which inspired me to restrict my intake to about 500 calories per day. Every day felt like hell until I eventually gave up. I was exhausted and returned to my normal self.
Even now, I am grateful for my body and how well it functions, and fortunately, I don’t have any health issues. That period in my life taught me so much.
