A few days ago, I was watching a movie - To The Bone. It was about anorexia nervosa patients or bulimia patients that struggle to eat or stay healthy. While watching I had this urge of wanting to follow how they live.
They all look super fit & thin. Heck, Lily Collins was acting. How was I suppose to not want to be like her?
But somewhere along the way, I realised that I should be comfortable in my own skin. I should but I wasn't.
Why? I kept asking why. Why don't I look or feel as happy as the girl in the movie? Why don't I feel good about myself? Why do i constantly compare how i look with other people?
Its not easy to completely shove all the insecurities away. Its not easy to always feel genuinely happy. Why is that? What was I doing wrong?
Then I turned to the internet.
Turns out, I was still at the beginning of my journey for a healthy lifestyle. I've still got a long way to go. I shouldn't get so worked up on things when I'm still near the starting point.

Maybe-possibily-fortunately looking like Lily Collins. (I DREAM BIG OK!)
So here, I'm going to remind you to not fall for it. To not fall for the insecurities. Don't get sucked in on how other people look and how you're not as pretty.
Trust me, if you're not happy with how you look. You can change it. If you're satisfied, I'm more than happy for you.
I'll let you know you're beautiful everyday.
Just don't get fall for the stereotypical way of HOW people have a short cut to lose weight by starving yourself or even throwing up. Its not good for you body.
You'll look worst.
I believe that it will take time. You'll be swayed but stand your ground. God said to always be patient.
But heck, we can always just edit all the fat out. Kidding!
Love yourself enough to take care of YOU!
