Body confidence and weight loss

Audrey

I’m an ABC (American Born Chinese) and my family is from Taiwan, and most girls are normally slim and rarely overweight or obese. I care a lot about my body image and weight and both can immediately make me feel self conscious about my overall self. I’ve always struggled with body dysmorphia and right now I feel ashamed of my body because I’ve always been naturally thick and not sure if it’s good or bad. According to my friends from Taiwan I’m considered obese in Taiwan standards and I’m not even sure if I really am or if he’s correct. I’m 5’3 and weigh around the 140s and the last time I was “slimmer” was shown in my prom dress and I’ve gained 10 lbs since the pandemic.(lb). I’d like to hear some thoughts from anyone please…
