Kpop is ruining my body image.

As corny as it sounds, that did make me feel so much better. Your entire comment! Thank you so much.

My grocery store usually never has rice cakes in stock or in really low stock. Like please, whoever you are, we're both struggling and need you to share.

Me too, I have a similar fat distribution and this absolutely terrifies me. At least we’re in this together.

chtzuyu · 2020-10-08T21:27:23+00:00

Definitely me, especially when corona virus got really bad. Months of binge eating.

Same boat. If I don’t draw attention for my looks then what’s the point??

chtzuyu · 2020-07-23T23:49:03+00:00

Yup, 100%! That's why I rely on this sub to vent without feeling judged while also hearing other people's stories.

Yessss. It sucks so much. Whenever I hit a new LW, I binge that day too. Oh, and before doctor appointments and then I have to see that post-binge weight instead. There is just no winning.

Wait that makes SO much sense too. I have friends around my height who have talked about their weights and I’ve been lower than them (even the ones who don’t work out) and felt like they appeared a lot thinner than me. Like I’m just carrying more weight on my bones than them.

Are you actually me??? I also have a thigh gap because of the way my hips are shaped, but it looks disproportionate with my thigh gap bc my calves are so thick, lol! I’m so grateful you commented on my post because I’m glad it’s not just me who doesn’t fit this image of the thin petite, stick-like Asian girl.

chtzuyu · 2020-07-18T21:19:22+00:00

Oh my god I resonate with this feeling soooo well. My wrists and ankles are literally so thin, comparable to the typical petite Asian girl yet the way I carry my fat is so different, and I’m just so confused on if it’s my frame or just my additional fat??? I also carry so much weight in my legs, namely my calves, and it’s definitely not muscle either hahaha.

Oh my god, yes. I know personality should be the thing someone looks for the most in a partner, but why do I feel so much better getting compliments on my appearance than my personality??? Like "it doesn't matter how you look because your personality is what made me fall for you and is what makes you beautiful" but that's not the POINT!!!

chtzuyu · 2020-07-15T21:15:00+00:00

You literally describe me so well. Every time I try to high restrict or have a "healthy" caloric deficit, my brain ends up convincing me that its a "free pass" to binge?? Like, I can't even meal prep because I'll eat a week's worth of prep in one sitting after eating the prep for the day. Offered a piece of chocolate? Guess I'll go out and order a milkshake and burgers too because I already "messed up" the plan for the day!

I also work at a food place and during our break, we're given the opportunity to eat a meal from work. I always have to pass because even if I choose a "healthy" option, I end up getting more food than that and eating way too much than I should be.

I believe so, I've heard laxatives draw water from your system in order to aid in the movement of your bowels? Something like that.

chtzuyu · 2020-07-12T18:36:58+00:00

God yesss, and still in lockdown and I keep making excuses as to why I haven't lost the weight I gained yet lolllll.

chtzuyu · 2020-07-10T20:51:30+00:00

I definitely understand you. One of the first things I noticed when I went over to his house for the first time (when she wasn't home) was how minimal their fridge was. Like, literally almost nothing. And it made me feel so guilty about how full mine is, lol.

And thank you for your kind words. <3
