So basically, “skinny” is never a description in my dictionary. My mum was like any typical Singaporean mum. She controlled what I ate and how I ate from a tender age of seven. No matter how thin I was, to her I was always FAT.

So because of that I would always pig out whenever I could, especially when she is not around. She would often compare me with others, be it friends or cousins of the same age group and I would always be “The Fatter One”.

After while I gave up and completely let myself go. As I got older, I would eat whatever I want, whenever I want. Because of my weight, I have had two miscarriages and I can feel my body getting weaker and weaker because of the weight. So now I want to change.
