A modelo Liza Golden-Bhojwani postou uma foto de seu “antes e depois” para encorajar outras mulheres a aceitarem sua forma física. A postagem da modelo no Instagram viralizou.

Na legenda, ela relata tudo que aconteceu desde quando parou de lutar contra a balança para se enquadrar em um padrão de beleza específico.

Tudo começou depois que a modelo passou mal em uma noite por conta da dieta restritiva que fazia. Ela só consumia 500 calorias por dia e decidiu abrir mão do regime para tentar manter o peso ideal. No entanto, nessa tentativa, a modelo passou a ter compulsão alimentar.

“Não conseguia manter as dietas e as rotinas de exercícios. Pensava que era fraca, que não me importava muito ou que não queria isso [a carreira de modelo] o suficiente. Me culpei de novo e de novo, falhando em entender o que acontecia”, escreveu ela na publicação.

Liza passou um bom tempo tentando ter o corpo que ela considerava ideal, mas ainda assim não conseguiu trabalhos.
A modelo viajou para Índia para repensar seu estilo de vida e voltou com uma mentalidade diferente. Desta vez, a modelo decidiu aceitar sua forma física. “Parei de me forçar e ouvi o que o meu corpo tinha a dizer. Aos poucos, meu corpo foi tomando a sua forma natural”.

Atualmente, Liz se exercita e come bem não por um trabalho, mas por seu bem-estar. “Mereço ser feliz e me sentir realizada. Todas nós merecemos. Talvez eu tenha sido criada para compartilhar essa história e a mensagem de amor ao corpo para todas as mulheres que estão brigando com isso por aí”.

 

A little flashback Friday action for you. This caption will be long and won't fit, so if you'd like to read please find the rest in the comment section....The left side was me at the start of the peak of my career. My first proper fashion week where I was actually the size I needed to be. I was booking amazing shows that one never thinks they actually could, walking with girls who I once looked up to, it was a serious adrenaline rush...but after fainting one night in my apt whilst preparing one of my very low cal meals (I think it was 20 pieces of steamed edamame if I remember correctly), I called it quits with the diet and workout regime I was put on and decided I could do it on my own. I thought to myself, I can still be this thin, but I'll just eat a little more so I don't feel so horrible. Well, eating a little more turned into eating nearly a bag full of almonds, which then turned into eating full size meals, which then turned into a full blown binge. I was craving every single food you could imagine and I was giving in to every craving even though I knew this was such an important time in my career. I made it through NYFW okay, no one had noticed any weight gain, but by the time I had gotten the LFW I could see the pounds starting to show both in the mirror and on the measuring tape, but I kept quiet obviously not wanting to sabotage myself. I found myself going to the grocery store and picking up raw vegetables to try and make up for the near two week binge I had in NY, but I didn't see any weight coming off no matter how "healthy" I was eating and no matter how many workouts I fit in. MFW came and I knew I was bigger and by bigger I mean a 35.5in hip rather than the 34.5in hip I started with in NY, I played it cool and just pretended everything was normal. I did end up booking shows, Dolce & Gabbana being one of them. Which I afterwards received online criticism about my thighs looking fat...Anyways PFW came about, and I found it impossible to resist those chocolate croissants I went on many a casting with one exclusive option being on my schedule, but after meeting the client I knew the reason for me not nailing the gig, my size...
