a healthy balance:

in the past 4 years, i have experienced both sides of the too-big-too-skinny spectrum. at one point, i thought i was too heavy and others thought i looked healthy. at another point, i thought i was at a good weight but others thought i was too skinny. it has been a challenge for me to find a place where i am content with my body and others aren't criticizing me. welcome to my journey.

here, you'll find a collection of what inspires me to continue living a healthy and happy life.
