a little food vlog ;)

I didn’t get to mention it in 02:50, but when I was in Bangkok, being super strict with my diet, overthinking every little thing I consumed, and working out excessively, I didn’t lose as much weight as I expected—and I gained weight easily. I would think even a small piece of chocolate would make me gain weight, even though I was working out two hours a day and cutting carbs for months. It felt like my body believed what my mind was telling it. That period helped me realize how much stress plays a role in dieting, and how fulfilling your cravings is just as important.

For 9 years, my body has been my primary work tool, and it still goes through periods of inconsistency. But being kind to myself and truly listening to what my body needs and craves has been one of the most important lessons in staying true to myself.

Being judged full-time based on my body isn’t easy, but modeling has taught me to be more aware of my health, body, and diet than I might have been on another path. We all have just one body—it’s our soul’s temple. I believe taking care of it with love and intention is what makes someone shine their brightest.

From my body to yours, here’s to nourishing ourselves inside and out!

Love,
Ji Won ❤️
