My lack of confidence in my body started in my family, as I grew up hearing my mom tell me all the time that I was fat.

When I turned 28 I allowed the social pressure to look “perfect” to pushed me on a liposuction. So far it has been the most traumatic and painful experience in my life. My entire body hurt like a blister with the simplest touch. I wanted to kill myself as the pain was putting me in tears not stop.

I learned to accept myself regardless of my weight and size and today I prioritise my emotional health so that it is reflected in my body.
