Anorexic Girl Starts Lifting, Becomes Instagram Sensation

By :

(????) ?? un po di motivazione in questo cupo lunedì. Chiunque voi siate, qualunque sia il vostro obbiettivo nella vita, sappiate che solo se lo volete davvero lo potrete ottenere. Ma dovrete volerlo con tutto il cuore e con tutta L anima. Io ho desiderato guarire con ogni cellula del mio corpo, io ho desiderato questa felicità e spensieratezza con tutta me stessa. Finalmente il mio cervello non è occupato da solo i pensieri sul cibo e finalmente mi piace il corpo che vedo. Non è stato né facile, né immediato. Il mio percorso ha richiesto tanta forza, coraggio e tempo. Ma lo volevo davvero, e questa mia testardaggine, mi ha concesso di farcela. ?? whoever you are, whatever your objective in life is, be aware that only if you truly want it you will be able to get it. I desired to be free with every cell of my body, and I wished for this happiness and freedom with all of myself. I can finally eat carefree and my brain can think about many things other than food! It wasn’t neither easy, neither immediate. It took time, courage and strength, but the desire to be free beat everything. #motivation #motivationmonday #anarecovery #anoressiaitalia #fitness #fitfam#health #healthy #loveyourself #life #edrecovery #strongnotskinny #abs#muscles#bodybuilding #bodybuildingmotivation #transformation #eatingdisorderrecovery #recoveryisworthit #salute #eattolive #mangiaresano #eattogrow #muscle #workout #gym #gymaddict #strongisthenewskinny #strongnotskinny

A young Italian woman has become a viral sensation after sharing her dramatic transformation with followers on social media.

22-year-old Silvia Fascians of Padua, Italy, was reportedly near death due to anorexia, weighing in at just seven stone and with a body mass index of 14.1.

Silvia’s life was turned around when she spotted a ‘lean and toned’ woman on Instagram, and she decided to adopt a healthier lifestyle and start her own account.

As reported by the Daily Mail, Silvia explained how she spiralled into illness:

That made me feel abandoned and worthless. Thoughts about restricting food began to take advantage of me.

It all spiralled down when my granddad passed away, again I felt abandoned and lonely. Then I fell into what I call my darkest nightmare. That December my grandmother passed away, and the dark blackened.

I had lost all contact with the world – it was just me and the monster sitting on my shoulder clapping me when I starved.

I wanted to disappear from this world and my body portrayed those feelings – my body was empty, I lost any shape or form, and I was reduced to skin and bones.

But then Silvia turned a corner, and with the help of her brother, she started weight training.

She added:

Instagram saved my life by making me see a real life story of what doctors or people were just telling me, I needed proof and Instagram gave it to me.

Something clicked and I began to think that I could be that girl too.

I told my therapist but she totally shut me down and told me I couldn’t exercise in my conditions because she thought I would just go on the treadmill and run my calories away.

Silvia now weighs a healthier nine stone, and her efforts have earned her nearly 16,000 followers keen to observe her impressive progress.

But the journey has not been simple.

Silvia said:

It isn’t easy. It isn’t something you just decide to do and it magically happens.

Many times I fell, many times I got back into old habits and many times I thought that I couldn’t do it.

Anorexia completely changed my life for the worst. I took it as a means to change my life for the best.

Pronti per il secondo giorno dei tra sformarono days? (????) ?? A volte mi viene detto che per me è stato più facile costruirmi questo fisico perché partivo dall’essere magra e che sono geneticamente predisposta. Beh, la verità è che non è vero. Le foto che vedete di me “più in carne” sono di me a 16/17 anni, prima del mio disturbo e quando mangiavo qualsiasi cosa senza preoccuparmi minimamente della qualità di cibo. quando ho deciso di guarire dall’anoressia, sapevo che data la mia “non predisposizione genetica”, sarei potuta tornare a quella forma fisica e la cosa mi terrorizzava. ho deciso di fare qualcosa di più per me stessa, ho deciso di prendermi cura di me e di crearmi il corpo che desideravo. Io ora sono sfrutto dei miei sforzi e delle mie forze, non sono così grazie alla genetica. ??Sometimes I get told that it has been easier for me to build my physique because I was already skinny so I just had to build muscles and sometimes I’m told that I’m genetically predisposed to being lean. well, that is not true. The photos that you see of me “more in meat” they are of me to 16/17, before my trouble and when I ate anything without leastly worrying me about the quality of food. when I have decided to recover from the anorexia, I knew that date mine “not genetic predisposition”, I would be been able to return to that physical form and the thing it terrorized me. I have decided to do more something for myself, I have decided to take he/she takes care of me of me and to create me the body that I desired. I am now I exploit of my efforts and of my strengths, I am not so thanks to the genetics. #healthy #bodybuilding #loveyourbody #fit#fitgirl#fitness #fitspo #fitnessmotivation #workout #allenamento #lifestyle #healthyfood #healthylife #iifym #intuitiveeating #salute #mangiaresano #strong #strongnotskinny #transformation #staystrong #earnednotgiven #edfighter #edrecovery #strongisthenewskinny #strongnotskinny #anarecovery
