PERSONAL | My Body Confidence Issues

When I was younger, I really struggled with myself and how I looked. Most of these struggles were related to my body confidence issues. I don’t like to admit this, but I used to be a very insecure girl. I would wear tons of make-up (still like to do tho) and wake up 1 hour earlier to straighten my hair everyday, because I didn’t like my natural texture. And even when I did that I didn’t feel good about myself at all. I’ve always been a sporty girl (I played tennis, figure skated and danced), but it never made me look skinny. I’ve never been a naturally thin girl. I’ve always had thick thighs and legs and I hated them so much. I also felt like they looked even worse, because I was so small. It made me mad that even if I worked out or ate healthily, they never became any less noticable. And it annoyed the fuck out of me – being a perfectionist. I would never wear certain clothing items for example, because I was scared it made look really fat. Yeah, this issue goes deep for me…
