About Lin

Hi there, this is Lin 🙋

Back when I was a kid, I couldn't keep my gob shut, stuffing anything I could into it. But, mate, I absolutely dreaded PE classes and wasn’t keen on exercise at all. Coupled with inheriting the family's chunky genes, munching away without a care and dodging exercise, it was no surprise I ended up as round as a snowball ☃️.

It wasn’t until I hit 16 that I started to pay attention to my figure. Thought to myself, born without the genes for a busty chest and with a belly that only made it look smaller, why not just flatten the stomach? A flat belly would make the chest look bigger, right? 

That summer, I took to swimming three hours a day and limited myself to just two spoonfuls of rice and a bit of veg each day. Before I knew it, I'd slimmed down massively, belly vanished, but so did my already minimal bust 😫 (It's just brutal how not even a bit of boob was spared! 😤).

But to keep the skinny look, I stuck to this unhealthy lifestyle for three months...

Until one day, three months in, my period stopped and my hair started falling out big time, so Mum dragged me to see a doc 🤐. I remember the doctor giving me a proper telling-off, warning me to get back to a normal diet 😡, or the hair loss would just get worse, not to mention long-term damage to my body! 😱Scared the living daylights out of me! All my "hard work and perseverance" over those three months, and all I got was harming my body 😭. Was it really worth keeping up? 

So, I ditched the "diet" I’d been on for three months. Feeling down in the dumps, I started binging. Sure enough, within a couple of months, all the belly was back! And then the regrets kicked in. So, I started on this yo-yo journey of losing weight and then gaining it back, over and over...

I was in despair, thought there was no way to slim down without starving. Luckily, in 2018, I met fitness.🌟

I realized that even though we can't change our genes, it doesn't mean we don't have the power to change our figures 😈. With fitness, I transformed from a hangar shape to an hourglass figure 👙! I found a balance both physically and mentally, started loving looking in the mirror and taking photos, felt happier, and ditched the negativity 🙆.

Over the years, my obsession with losing weight led me down many painful paths, and you might relate to some of that pain...🙊

So, I sincerely hope to share a bit more about fitness and diet, to help girls who are going through the same struggles improve their physique and mindset, and enjoy the happy life you deserve! 🌞
