“He was constantly telling me you’re fat. So I was like damn, I have to do something about it. So I decided to work out on my own, started to gain interest in fitness like a lot, reading health magazines and I lost those 16 kilos in 4 months. I was so thin, in a healthy way, until people couldn’t recognize me because I used to be this fat chubby kid in primary school and ever since I got to my ideal weight, I’ve been into sports. My first sport was netball and I lost those 16 kilograms when I was 10! I mean, other kids are eating candies and chewing chocolates, and I mean you’re like 10, who the hell cares right? But I cared about it. I still struggle with food because I love to eat. But I balance it out by exercising 3-5 times a week because your body is the greatest investment you can make”.
