Рregnancy led to incredible weight gain! The girl did not know how to live on
To be honest, Sofya Vyshinsky was not thin even at the time of conception. And it’s not a hormonal failure, not a disease. The girl said that after the death of her mother in 2009, she began to eat twice as much as before:
she filled the void. I ate grief. It is unlikely that food helped to lessen the pain of loss. But Sophia got better — that’s for sure. By 2014, the girl already weighed 135 kilograms.
“As long as I ate, I was happy. The very process of eating food soothed me, ”explains Sophia.
At the age of 20, the girl became pregnant.
“I was both scared and happy. When the test showed two stripes, I realized that I really want a child. I promised myself that I would do everything for my baby to make him feel good, ”recalls Sophia.
The effort is commendable. But, unfortunately, Sophia took the common phrase that expectant mothers should eat for two, literally. Not only did she eat a lot, but her diet was by no means healthy.
The girl managed to absorb 4000 kilocalories per day — this is more than two times more than necessary.
“When it comes to food, I’m even more extreme than before. I ate half a kilo of ice cream in one sitting and told myself that this was because the child needed calcium. And so every day, ”the girl explains.
On the threshold of her 21st birthday, Sophia gave birth. Looking in the mirror at herself with her son in her arms, she realized that she had to change her life, it couldn’t go on like this anymore. Indeed, for 9 months, while she was carrying a child, Sophia added more than 50 kilograms.
Her nose was buried in her cheeks, her eyes seemed slanted — behind a pile of fat one could not see the young girl that she, in essence, was.
Sophia could not lose weight on her own. The eating disorder was so severe that she was unable to cope with it. And the girl decided to resort to surgery. A year after the birth of her son, she underwent surgery to reduce her stomach.
This helped — in the first three months, Sophia dropped 44 kilograms.
Then — a strict diet, gym, work on yourself. A lot of work.
“I limited both serving size and daily calorie intake. I allowed myself no more than 800 calories a day. It wasn’t easy, but I told myself it was for my son. I had to save myself and do everything for my son that he deserves,” Sophia says.
The girl recalls that at first she was so huge that it was hard for her to move. But gradually could more and more. Now Sophia still restricts herself in food — the daily calorie intake for her is 1200-1500. She goes to the gym three to four times a week.
Sophia lost 108 kilograms in two years. But there was another problem — extra skin. The girl decided on another operation — to remove the excess. So she became less by another 5.5 kilos.
To say she has changed is an understatement. A completely different body, a different face. It seems that even the forehead has become higher.
“Now I finally like my reflection in the mirror. I feel like I can do more so I will continue to diet and exercise. I realized that you need to fight for what you really want. It is never too late to change yourself, the main thing is to find motivation.
For me, my baby was such a motivation. He deserves a healthy mother. He deserves better,” Sophia told the Daily Mail.
