Recently the name of Valentina Francavilla His name was trending on social media after he decided to show his current physique on his social media. This is because the former girl has gained around 40 kilos since the end of her participation in The Farm 13.
In conversation with the WhoValentina spoke about the feeling of freedom in showing her real body: “Before, I used to publish photos of just my face. Today, I have no problem showing my current physique. When a chubby girl comes up to give me a hug, I make a point of highlighting that she needs to understand that she is beautiful.”
However, the presenter revealed that, before self-acceptance, she went through a phase of withdrawal: “I didn’t feel like going out, getting my nails done, I thought everyone would watch. It’s important to love yourself when you look in the mirror. When we love ourselves, life changes in such a good way…”.
“I’ve been losing weight for two years. For a long time, I avoided posting my body. I only published photos of my face. There was a moment when I didn’t want that anymore. It’s important to be happy the way I am and show what I learned in this process”, he said.
Valentina also spoke about the pressure from social media: “A lot of pressure. In addition to calling me fat, a whale, people always love to judge. They think I’m depressed. Hey, I’m not fat because I’m depressed. I’m fat because I ate too much.”
“People relate that you gained weight because of something bad — depression, lack of employment. They say I gained weight because I didn’t go back to the Ratinho Program. No, nothing like that. I didn’t go back because I didn’t want to, I wanted to pay more attention to my son. A internet puts a lot of pressure. ‘Who is she?’, ‘It’s horrible'”he added.
“I decided to withdraw. Suddenly, I saw that I didn’t have to remain withdrawn, no. And you know what? I get more catcalls today than before”, continued.
Regarding the isolation phase, Valentina commented: “I didn’t feel like going out, getting my nails done, I thought everyone would stare. Oops, wait a minute, right? No one has to think they’re so important that all eyes are on you.”
“It’s important to love yourself when you look in the mirror. When you love yourself, life changes in such a good way… When I started to understand that I’m beautiful, it was really good”, he spoke.
Valentina said it took her two years to accept herself: “It took me two years to gain this acceptance. I kept publishing photos of just my face. Today, I have no problem showing my current physique. When a chubby girl comes up to give me a hug, I make a point of highlighting that she needs to understand that she is beautiful” .
