hi, i moved to tokyo about 10 months ago and since then, my self esteem (especially body) has gotten increasingly worse. in middle, high school, and college, i never had any issues with my image (well, this severe at least) but being here where everyone is so skinny, has tiny calves and thighs, and flat stomachs, i’ve began to have issues.
i want to add that i’m not saying that everyone in japan necessarily fits this body type, but a majority of the girls my age do, and i was just curious as to if other people have also struggled with this upon moving to japan, and how they cope with it, because it’s just gotten worse for me over time.
