CW: brief mention of past ED.

I’ve been meaning to make this comic for a while, I just had to find the words. These past few weeks, I have been consistently working out. It’s been a very off and on journey these past couple years, as my body has seen many ups and downs and has really been through the ringer! But this time, I intend to stick with it as much as I can.

For my own sake, I do not diet or weigh myself, because those are tools I used to use to punish myself for eating and existing. I went through a very rough period of time for a few years, where I would eat as a form of comfort, then feel bad and not eat. Shortly after, I found myself unemployed, and all I could afford to do was go to the gym, and eat about once a day. Needless to say, my body has really gone through a lot. While it has taken me a long time to recover, I am really proud of the progress I have made. I’ve promised myself that I’ll never treat myself that way again.

Nowadays, I eat consistently (at least 2 healthy meals a day!) and I work out every week day. I am having a lot of fun doing the Chloe Ting 2 week ab shred challenge. It’s funny how when I started exercising again, my body and muscles remembered the motions of what I need to do. It’s just a matter of training myself to have the amazing endurance and strength that I used to! I’ll get there eventually.

I am doing much better these days! And I have lovely people in my life to thank. Loving yourself is a journey, but it’s one that’s worthwhile
