Hello, my name is Mai and I am a thirty-year-old Asian woman. Growing up in a traditional Vietnamese family, I was always expected to be the perfect daughter - obedient, subservient, and unquestioningly loyal.
I was never allowed to express myself or have any sort of agency over my own life. As a result, I developed severe anxiety and depression. I also struggled with my weight, which only added to my insecurities.
Eventually, I found solace in food - it became a way for me to comfort myself and numb the pain that I felt inside. And as I continued to eat, my body grew larger and larger until I eventually reached a point where I couldn't even recognize myself anymore.
But despite everything, I never gave up hope. I knew that there had to be more to life than this. So I started taking control of my health by making small changes in my diet and exercise routine. It wasn't easy, but slowly but surely, I began to see results.
Today, I am proud to say that I have lost over 100 pounds and am well on my way to reaching my goal weight. But more importantly, I feel like myself again - confident, strong, and capable of achieving anything I put my mind to.
So if you're out there struggling with your own demons, know that it is possible to overcome them. All it takes is a little bit of faith in yourself and the willingness to work hard for what you want.
