I grew up as an athlete, playing competitive basketball and soccer on school and community teams. I never thought much about my body or what I ate until I tore my anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in 2015 while playing basketball. During the rehabilitation process after my knee surgery, I committed to a rigorous physiotherapy routine and felt compelled to go to the gym every day. I desperately wanted to be back with my teams as soon as possible, and as a result, found myself absorbed into a vicious routine of fitness and dieting. I thought I was making healthy choices, however, those choices, along with pressures from social media, soon began to dictate my life.
