I explained exactly why on the blog and it's the read I needed at your stage

2/24 Edited to

... Read moreFrom personal experience, dealing with the emotional aftermath of betrayal, especially cheating, is a complex and deeply personal journey. Many people wrongly assume that their physical appearance or body type plays a role in how they are affected by such experiences, but the truth is that emotional pain transcends physical attributes. What truly matters is understanding the depth of the impact and allowing yourself to process those feelings without judgment. In my journey, I found that the hardest part was not about changing myself physically but confronting the emotional turmoil head-on. Keeping up with Maya's Method helped me realize that scrolling past pain or avoiding it only prolongs suffering. Acknowledging how badly cheating affected you is a significant step towards healing. It opens up space for self-compassion and rebuilding your sense of self-worth. This process often involves reflecting on what you need emotionally rather than focusing on perceived flaws. Moreover, embracing your feelings without blaming your body type creates a healthier path to recovery. It allows you to focus on what truly matters — your emotional resilience and personal growth. Remember, healing is not linear, and every stage requires patience and kindness towards yourself. In the end, sharing experiences like these can encourage others going through similar struggles to understand that betrayal's impact is universal, but the response and healing journey are unique to each individual.
