There was a period in her life when I was obsessed with her appearance. All she wanted to do was lose weight, thinking she would be more liked that way.
I recall how I used to run 20km in the morning, 6km in the evening and do three hours of kickboxing – every day for a few months. On top of that, I was also starving herself. This caused me to fall prey to eating disorders and I remained very miserable despite losing a lot of weight.
For the next few years, I refused to run and it became something I dreaded.
However, all that changed when I broke out of the shadows and depression. I learnt to love herself right and appreciate my body, thus creating @rockthenakedtruthsg.
It was only two years ago when I revisited running that I decided to take up triathlons. "I realised how much the body is capable of and how there is so much more of ourselves to discover. I like challenging myself so I currently take part in Ironman triathlons, something I previously said I’d never do! We only have one body to live in and it’s our responsibility to take good care of it!" #fearlesslyindependent #roadlesstaken #newbalancesg
