“I have had body image issues since I was a young girl. I started dancing since I was 4 years old and stopped at 14 years old due to the fact that I was so overwhelmed with how my body looked. Constantly standing in front of a mirror in tight dance clothes caused strain towards my mental health. I developed anxiety and depression because it felt as if I was constantly being judged for the way I look. I had numerous panic attacks because I felt so uncomfortable in my own skin but I did not know how to change the way I look. It was only recently that I started to feel more comfortable and confidence in myself. I still have days where I have anxiety over how I look, however I am slowly gaining the confidence that I have been lacking for my whole life.”
