Today, I’m going to share with you all about my journey with my body transformation. Since October last year to today, I have lost almost 40 pounds, and I am only 5’3”, so that’s a lot of weight that I was carrying as a very small Asian woman.
Although I have worked really intentionally to get here, I’ve hesitated to share this story. One of the reasons is because I don’t want to feed any part of the human psyche that obsesses with external perfection, believing that if we achieve it, then we’ll finally be free of the unworthiness that we feel. I also don’t want to say that the solution to that is to just put on loads of weight and tell ourselves that we’re still lovable and worthwhile, and that we don’t need to shape ourselves.
I actually want to go way deeper into this story and share, from an ontological context, how and why I got overweight in the first place, and what kind of transformation has taken place in order to release that weight and everything that I carried with it.
