My name is Utae and I am Korean. I was born and raised in Seoul, where I still live today. Growing up, I was always a bit chubby but never really thought much of it until high school when I started to notice that some of my classmates were getting a lot more attention than me because they were thinner.
That's when I decided to take action and start working out. I went to the gym every day after school and began following a strict diet, which helped me lose quite a bit of weight but also left me with some pretty significant stretch marks on my stomach.
Despite the stretch marks, though, I was really proud of how far I had come and felt much more confident in myself than I ever had before. It wasn't until I started dating my now-husband that I truly began to feel comfortable in my own skin, as he always made me feel beautiful no matter what.
Now, at twenty years old, I am happily married with a daughter who is three years old. I still work out regularly and try to maintain a healthy lifestyle for both myself and my family, but I have also learned to accept my body the way it is and not let society's standards dictate how I feel about myself.
