finally telling the truth | MY STORY | my eating disorder, exercise addiction & clickbait thumbnails

Disclaimer: EXTREMELY sensitive and potentially TRIGGERING topics will be discussed in depth in this video regarding weight, eating disorders, body dysmorphia, exercise addiction, cultural stereotypes and stigma, calories, and bad body-image. All opinions are my own. THIS VIDEO MAY NOT BE FOR YOU & THAT IS OK!

Hi guys, because it’s AAPI heritage month!!! @gymshark set up a very cool AAPI awareness shoot and interview that I was so honoured to be invited to. It made me think about how being Chinese and growing up in North America has impacted my relationship with food, body image, and fitness journey. After digging into my past, I discovered a lot of resentment towards my background and heritage over the years. I wanted to share with you guys my story. And what lead me here. This is simply an honest and open chat of my life up to this point. This is a very personal story, and I hope it teaches you a little more about why I am so passionate about listening to my body, honouring my hunger, and why I do what I do.

Love you guys always.

& thank you Gymshark for giving me this opportunity to really reflect on how my culture makes me who I am and realizing how proud I am to be Chinese. Beyond grateful to be part of this family ❤️🦈
