"Do you want to destroy your body, health and privacy - ask me how", - a book with this title could be written by 26-year-old Erika Olson. Girl back to 23 years plump almost to 200 Kg, and she doesn't care.
Erica has led the same lifestyle since childhood., like most of her peers: was on social media, went to a cafe with friends, fan of the musician from One Direction. She differed from her peers in only one thing - a monstrous weight.
“I used to skip breakfast, and for lunch and dinner came off in full. Large whole pepperoni pizza, big mac with big fries, a car. I usually take double portions., and a glass of soda is the largest, what was. And I always ate something sweet - I didn’t consider cookies and sweets for food at all, just come", Erika says.
The biggest glass of soda is not pathetic 500-600 ml, who pour us. Erica walked away from the order counter with a giant cola - 1,9 liters. And that, she drank it all. And there were at least three such glasses a day..
190 kg of weight - this was only part of the problem. Eating one fast food also affected the skin: pimples covered Erica's cheeks and chin, and she “curtained” her forehead with bangs. There, where did the pimples go, scars appeared, then pimples again. But this did not encourage Erika to take care of herself.. She understood, that something needs to change, only when she was in a hospital bed in a pre-diabetic state. She was then 24 of the year.
“My grandmother died of complications, caused by diabetes, when i was born. My grandfather passed away from diabetes recently.. And I understood, that she is simply not ready to repeat their fate. Not ready to die 24 of the year", - says the girl.
Erica first tried to play sports. It wasn't that easy: under a huge load, the joints refused to obey, knees started hurting. But you need to lose weight!
“For me, the story of my mother became a huge motivation. She was also always very full.. For several years, she still dropped 70 kg and has maintained its weight ever since. She was able, so, I can too", Erica continues..
But she herself could not. She had to undergo stomach surgery, to cope with dozens of extra kilos. And after the operation - go on a strict diet, limiting your diet 1800 calories a day.
“I eat pretty much the same thing every day.. Very rarely I allow myself something that goes beyond my usual diet.. And then I feel guilty.”, — Erica reveals.
Now, later 2,5 years after surgery, girl weighs 67 kilo. But that's not the end of her adventures.. As soon as it becomes clear, What number should you stop on the scale?, Erica will have surgery to remove excess skin. After all, she lost three times the weight - no wonder, that the surplus hung in folds.
