Day 9 Compared to before, I really feel like I've done pretty well this time. The doctor said I can wear makeup a few days after the stitches are removed, so this is the first time I've worn makeup in over a month (usually I'm lazy; I'm a total homebody and I avoid going out as much as possible). So a lot of the photos you see are just casual snapshots I took myself; I rarely post photos taken by others. It's not because they take bad photos, but because I'm really not very confident— I always feel like I don't look good enough, perfect enough, or photogenic enough in front of the camera. But thankfully, my friends are all really great. I haven't encountered many bad people along the way; every time they see me, they compliment me in person, and it secretly makes me really happy to hear. Since coming back from that event in Shanghai, I've started losing weight. Although it's not through normal fitness, I've been using semaglutide, and in just over a month, I've gone from 105 pounds to now 90.9 pounds, a total of 14.1 pounds lost. So I always feel that the biggest and best investment I've made is in myself. It's not to become the "beauty" that others talk about, but to allow myself to see someone I increasingly like in the mirror. When you start to be a little kinder to yourself, you'll find that your overall mood and state gradually stabilize, and you become more willing to face the camera and share your life. I'm now gradually getting closer to the person I want to become. And what about you? 🤔 @hoshino_sasaki This article is sponsored by #BCGame | @bcgame
