Rebellious Wellness

Honor Your Appetite. Regain your Freedom

My Wellness Story:

I was never overweight nor obese or had any health conditions that threaten my life and that required me to change my diet or lifestyle for survival. So I never paid attention to the size of my body or how I look, up till middle school. I’ve only started to feel self-conscious about my body, when the guy that I had a crush on started calling me ‘fat’. I was never a ‘big’ kid per-say, but neither was I ‘thin’. I had what one would consider ‘baby fat’, but soon learned that that was also already considered ‘fat’ in Asian standards.

Find me if you can lol. Hint: Top right corner

I see the people around me getting into relationships, and especially people close to me like my sister and girlfriends. They always seem to be courted by some guy or the other, always ‘in demand’. But not me.

And what did they all had in common? They were all skinny and pretty.

This made me start to wonder if it was really my weight and how I look that were defective, that made me unworthy to be love?
