When I was younger, I was very fat, I was ashamed of my appearance. It’s true, my parents motivated me, but I resented the fact. I loved to eat delicious food, and I don’t even remember how I got to that point, but it was hard for me to give up some foods.
But I had found a way to fight it all from a different angle. I was very fond of cosmetics, I would sit in front of the mirror for hours and put on makeup, I even had favourite cartoon characters whose makeups I tried to copy. It all made me happy, it made me feel beautiful.
But I must say that the more I tried, the better I got, and I was happy about it too.
By the time my family moved to Croatia, I was old enough. The only way to earn money was my ability, I decided to do makeup for people in their homes for quite cheap and do it with the cosmetics I had on hand. It was difficult at first, but I got used to it, so I started improving my handwriting even more. People really reached out to me, it made me happy.
When I collected enough money, I remember that I used that money to buy myself professional cosmetics, although the price of my work did not increase. You know, I enjoyed it, I really enjoyed it. You might be thinking, what happened to that fat girl…well, she still couldn’t resist the temptation of food.
I don’t want to tell a long story, but I will say that thanks to my hard work, I was able to finally open my own makeup studio, have students, people recognize me, I’m proud of it. As a result of this work, I could and can afford to do everything for my parents, who have always been by my side…but oh my obesity…when I already had everything, I started strictly following my regime, so many people knew me, I was really embarrassed. It was very difficult to actually give up my favourite snacks, but I managed to do it anyway, at the same time I was working out in the gym. After all, now men do not pass by me indifferently, and everyone.
Now I want to tell all girls like me to never give up, always have goals in life, because without them and without struggle, everything is meaningless. I thank everyone who read my story, hugs to everyone…
