I was bullied in secondary school for being fat. I had also struggled to make friends and dropped out of ballet school because I could not perform well as a chubby child and it made me very shy, introverted, and I hated myself for the way I looked and how I was being treated. Developing acne after hitting puberty only made me feel worse about myself. I wanted to have friends to eat my lunch with, play sports, dance all day and feel accepted and respected. I decided eat fruits for lunch when I was in school, did a lot of running on the treadmill and managed to shed 10kg in a couple of months.

But my health only deteriorated after that. I lacked sufficient muscle mass, felt weak, and had a list of health issues ranging from gastric and bloating issues right up to constipation and falling ill often due to college stress that carried over to university. It was affecting my physical and mental health. I denied my discomfort and pain as I thought "I can handle this", "its not a big deal" or "I had to focus on more important things". I had always thought that I was skinny enough so I did not need a transformation program or I would need to have salads and give up my favourite foods and bubble tea to look my best.

I met my amazing coaches on Instagram in March 2020, and I was curious and also envious of their amazing transformations and radiating positive energy. Even though I had achievements to be happy with, I then realised how miserable and drained I actually felt about myself, my dreams and aspirations. How I had a toxic, insecure and pessimistic mindset about making things happen for myself. It was then that I was empowered to begin a lifestyle that would change my life for the greater good. I managed to lose 5% body fat and almost 8kg in 7 months after joining the transformation program. Together with that, I experienced an increase in energy levels causing my productivity to increase, my stomach issues and constipation disappeared and my acne even started clearing up causing my skin to glow, finally looking and feeling great! ❤️💕🌸

It's been an amazing journey so far to have learnt about nutrition, lifestyle and listening to what my body needs.  My biggest change is my mindset in accepting myself with my flaws, having a group of amazing people that Im blessed to call my friends and support system.  I can now move forward and achieve my goals and help others do the same!
