I get you. I totally do. I'm not sure if I also mentioned this before but I was also overweight. Was because I swear to god, I had to literally force myself to commit into dieting because I almost died (hypertension). I've always been on the bigger side even when I was a child so it was really difficult to lose weight especially if your heart's not in it. And I'm not saying that trying to lose weight is easy because it's not, it's really not but I do believe that if we want it, we can do it. I've been a victim of people making fun of me because of my weight, and I can say that it is one of the reasons why I'm never confident about myself.

ah, this turned into a mini-rant. I hope you feel better soon.

Being overweight is terrible enough. And true, our insecurities really do hinder us from feeling confident. I know that feeling too much. Thank you so much for this. I am shaping myself up before I spiral into another depression that will trigger me into another eating disorder. I don't want to end up doing that. My weight actually dropped after my gastronomical problems caused by body shame.

I'm glad you've made it. I am hoping to make it to that point, as well. :)

P.S. I've actually started biking again. It works. Haha. :D
