Self-discipline and beauty is a kind of obsession

Everything is the case, results and a sense of accomplishment are the driving force for persistence. You already have some gains, and you firmly believe that you can gain more.

I am used to not having three meals a day, and I am used to drinking a cup of milk tea and snacking when I am bored. Suddenly I skipped lunch, and my mood was as boring and restless as my stomach. The first few days are the most uncomfortable, but after a week of persistence, the stomach will become smaller and the craving for food will weaken. I used to feel greasy and sleepy when I was full, but now I feel refreshed and awake if I don’t eat lunch. I even feel that I'm a bit good, I can do work without eating, I can study and work. It seems that food is not necessary~

Gradually, seeing my thinner, thinner waist, and looser trousers, I feel more eager to stop. Becoming beautiful and pleasing to others, self-discipline will start to become addicted and become a habit at a certain point.

Everything has a degree, so there must be a critical point of fatness and thinness, a state that looks the most beautiful. Just like a line chart that rises first and then falls, you can only see the turning point if you continue to lose weight.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the heroine is obviously too hard to lose weight/self-discipline. Her slender appearance is beautiful, her skinny appearance is still beautiful, but the walking skeleton can only be regarded as poignant. Ordinary people can't appreciate it, and those who have experienced it are sympathetic to each other.

What is the original family, what is the direction of love, what is the evaluation of my work, these are not controlled, it is too difficult to control. To think about these things just adds to the troubles. To continue to live requires a sense of pleasure and accomplishment, which are difficult to obtain. For the female protagonist, eating very little food, doing a lot of belly rolls, maintaining the trend of continuous weight loss and a clear head because of hunger, is to complete the KPI set by herself. The cause and effect of this behavior can give her the courage to continue living.

She never thought about committing suicide. She tried to find meaning in life with self-discipline (weight control). The price is that the beautiful flower lacks nutrients, and gradually reached its critical point, slowly withering.

Obsession is a kind of demon.

Excessive weight loss may lead to anorexia, and to a certain extent, it will look like a walking skeleton; using the perfect celebrity facial features as a template, pursuing perfection of each part, there is a risk of becoming a facelift. It's very important to receive it when you see it.

Who cares if you have a little fat? Who cares if you are so thin that you can hold your big arm with one hand? Will these affect true love and being loved?

No one is perfect, and a perfect person cannot have a perfect life. To give up the pursuit of perfection is to reconcile with oneself.
