I was very thin, and sick, stressed and yet everyone congratulated me on how good I looked. It was a glaring case and eye-opening experience to how much ’thin’ and ’skinny’ are idolized. It became a mental battle when I had to healthily regain, but it helped me grasp that being skinny wasn’t happy. Skinny was just a different kind of unhealthy for my body,” said Sarah.

Her weight loss story was not like all the other stories we hear. She was left with eating disorders, fatphobia, and anxiety. Sarah says she has a wake-up call from her daughter who said to her: “Mom, everyone just loves you because you lost weight.” She realized she sought validation in her size.

Being satisfied with her body was her happiness.

Since we were friends first, he also had a very good snapshot of my life and me as a whole. I was in no mood to fake it with anyone and he was aware of a lot of raw and real aspects of my life, and it was a great foundation for us to build from there!said Sarah about their relationship.

We can’t blanket what self-love means for everyone because we all give and receive love so differently. So listen to yourself in the everyday moments. The moments that feel really good and fulfilling — if you pay attention to what they are, you can do more of them. Likewise for the other way around. When you start to see the things that trigger self-hate, you can begin to remove them from your path. Many times, this applies to who you follow and give power to on social media,” says Sarah.
