Ira Khan opens up about facing body image issues
Ira Khan, in her post, admitted that there is still a lot she is trying to understand about herself and her body, but she has noticed a small, positive shift that encouraged her to start speaking about it publicly. Her post read, “Yes, I’m fat. Been oscillating between thinking I’m fat/unfit, becoming overweight, and being obese since 2020. There’s lot to be said about it. Definitely things I still need to figure out. But I feel at least a small shift for the better, so I’ve decided to start talking about it/share. I may not be as articulate or confident as when I spoke about my depression. Unlike like that, this feels a little scary.”The caption further read, “But I really think it needs to be talked about. I don’t have a diagnosed eating disorder, and I’m also not an expert. Just sharing my experiences. Venture into the comment section at your own risk. I know I will be staying far away from it. Let’s see how this goes. #mentalhealth #fat #bodyimage #fit #bodypositivity.”
Here’s what Ira Khan said in the video
Meanwhile, in the video, Ira Khan can be heard saying, “Let’s address the elephant in the room, me. Yes, I’m fat, and I’m actually obese for my age and my height. And I’ve been struggling with body image issues and with my relationship with my food since 2020.”She further said in the clip, “I’m not as comfortable and confident talking about this as I was with my depression. So, I’m not entirely sure how this is going to go. It’s come in the way of my ability to participate in my friends’ lives, in how I show up in my relationship with Popoy, in my self-worth and so then work and everything, in a way that I would say is as intense as how my depression would interfere in my life and sometimes still does. And so, I want to talk about this. I want to try and unpack what I think, have been thinking, struggled with, still struggle with—just all of it. I hope it helps me.”Ira concluded, saying, “If it helps you, then plus points. I would recommend not venturing into the comment section, and if you do, then at your own risk. And let’s see how this goes.”
