Nadine opens up about her struggles with body image, an eating disorder, why she wishes she’d heard people share their similar experiences when she was younger, and what it means to choose yourself.

1. How It Started

My whole life, I cared so much about what other people thought, about other people’s approval, and then one day I looked in the mirror and realized I didn’t like the person looking back at me. That’s when I said to myself, “I Choose Me.”

So I created I Choose Me as a platform to share stories about the dark times, about mental health, and about transformation. If I had known that other girls were going through the same things, it would have been a lot easier for me to make different choices — and I don’t want any more girls to be lost like that.
