7. the war with my BODY

from Desperate for Love Hosted by Sofiya Kalyna

Desperate lovers, welcome to part two of my three-part mini series, BEFORE THE STORM. 🤍 As you know, when I turn 30 this year, I need to look like a full-blown SMOKE SHOW. 😭 And so, in addition to my “Operation Smoke Show” series on Instagram, I’m documenting my POINT A — my “before.” In this episode, I open up about my body. My body image struggles, my weight fluctuations throughout the years, binge eating, dieting, my eating disorder, perfectionism, comparison, shame, discipline, and the mental battle that has haunted me for most of my life. I share memories from childhood, moving to Canada, the habits that shaped my relationship with food, and the dark cycle of constantly trying to “start tomorrow.” This episode is really about the war I’ve had with my body and the pressure I’ve always put on myself to look a certain way. At the same time, this is also an episode about hope, growth, responsibility, discipline, transformation, and becoming the person I know I’m capable of becoming. Operation Smoke Show is officially underway. 🫡 This is my point A. This is BEFORE THE STORM. I appreciate you, my Desperate Lovers. xoxo and I'll be with you in the next one. 🤍
