ok so a lil pre-story: as a little kid, i was this very petite and pretty girl, basically the picture-perfect child, i even went to pageants and girly stuff like that, i used to dance ballet, so ir was really cool
andd things went downhill when i got diagnosed with hashimoto’s when i was six. honestly it’s not that serious of a disease imo, the only thing that i started struggling with was weight. but things weren’t that bad.
then, at around 10/11/12 (?) yrs old i started gaining a lot more weight than i was used to. i’m not saying that i was masive or anything like it, it was just unusual for me.
this went on for some years, doctors not really knowing what to do tbh. as it happens in every basic sappy story - i started getting bullied. nothing that bad, but it made me bully myself eventually. i basically hated the way that i looked
i started thinking i wasn’t enough, but i lost SOME weight, because i started taking medication. but i was still not satisfied with it. i tried working out and watching what i eat, but i ended up doing it for one day only lol
and time-skip to the start ot summer 2019. that’s when i started stanning bts. i was looking at edits and all i could think about was how much more perfect they are than me, how they just radiated confidence with every move they made.
that’s when i searched it up and found out they didn’t have it easy too. so i said to myself ‘if they can do it, then so can i’ so i gradually started working out once a week, eating more healthy foods, because i needed a better body in order to be confident.
SIDE-NOTE: I am not saying that you need to have a “perfect” body in order to be confident. As long as you genuinely feel good about yourself, then it doesn’t matter what your body looks like. I just couldn’t learn how to do that, so I started going for the body I wanted.
time-skip to, well, now. for the past week i have been seriously working out on a daily basis, i watch what i eat and generally feel much better about myself. i still have a long way to go, but i’m feeling content with what i have achieved as of now.
if it wasn’t for bts, i probably wouldn’t have even tried to be as confident as i am now. i still have a self-confidence problem, but i have made progress. thank you bts, for making me love the incomplete, still growing version of myself.
this bitch is gonna be complete when she has jungkook’s abs
