– My curvaceous forms have been given to me since childhood. I have always been a calm and even too assiduous girl. During growing up, I often compared myself to someone, there were complexes, but I kept my posture, went to the dance hall, to basketball. And even then I understood that you need to compare yourself only with yourself.
At school I was the director of amateur performances, our class numbers always took the first places. At the university, activity and creativity have increased. Then I pulled on an interesting job, which, of course, was stressful, and little movement, and an unbalanced diet, but at the same time career growth and interest in life.
And then pregnancy burst into my life – my beautiful daughter was born, my life gift, my fitness trainer. Every morning now begins with exercise, with dancing, with a proper breakfast with daughters in the form of cereal porridge. We have a lot of walks and positives. By the way, during pregnancy, I gained only 3 kg, all because I agreed with my belly-resident: my mother eats everything and does not get better. I ate mostly sauerkraut and some meat.
I have never been on diets, now I eat very little bread, dance at home, run with my daughters, walk, attend yoga in hammocks, do self-massage and scrubs, drink at least two liters of water a day. I have not used any pharmaceuticals for 16 years already, I am adjusting myself to slimness for health and greater endurance in hiking and traveling, which I love very much. And most importantly, I learned to accept myself for who I am at any moment of my life! And my parents, spouse, brother, relatives and friends helped me in this – I am loved, respected, admired, supported in all my endeavors, and these feelings are mutual.

– The history of my figure is very changeable, as well as my weight. Before the birth of my son, I was slim – I was engaged in volleyball for about 5 years, for more than 10 years – in cross-country skiing. My figure has changed a lot after pregnancy and childbirth. The weight came, and did not want to leave any more. I was very worried, I was even depressed. But she was able to recover mentally and took part in the television project “This is real. New Life ”on the TNT-Berezniki channel. For 3 months I threw off 20 kg, began to like myself and began to perceive myself in a new way. At the end of the TV project, we organized dancing classes, so the embodiment of my childhood dream began. Performing on stage, getting rid of complexes, owning my new body – I began to like myself.
Then she completely plunged into work. But one day I met the head of the pop dance ensemble, in which I was engaged, and she invited me to the beauty contest “Ural Beauty Plus Size – 2016”. This is how the cherished dream of childhood and adolescence came true – to take part in a beauty contest. I won the Grand Prix of the competition. And at the all-Russian stage of this competition she took the title of “Grand Prix Supermodel”. And I began to look at my life from a different angle. I realized that the wrong man was with me, I had no harmony with him, and in the end I broke up with him. I was carried away by meditation, boring psychology, photo shoots and work on myself. My thinking and outlook on life have changed. Now I have many fans, I constantly hear many pleasant compliments addressed to me. The son says that I am his most beautiful and funniest mother.
Having accepted myself, loving myself and starting to work on myself, I became truly happy. And participation in the competition “Complete Perfection” is another, higher stage in my life, in which I can show myself and open myself from a new side and show my natural femininity. And, perhaps, I will be able to realize another dream of mine – to be cast in a show-ballet for the full and to become a plus-size model and photo model.

– I started getting fat in my teens. By the age of 19, she weighed 82 kg. She achieved a positive result in losing weight by the age of 21 – she began to weigh 67 kg. It lasted for several years. But after 2009, my weight began to grow and grow … In 2015, the scales showed 108 kg. The reason was that many sad events happened in life, and the weight turned into a psychological defense. Despite this, there were always close people next to me, a loving man, creative work and hobbies. And I realized that many perceive me for who I am, and I don’t need to seem like someone else. For my health, I lost a little weight. Now I am at a comfortable weight for myself.
It turned out absolutely incredible with the competition “Complete Perfection” – literally the stars have developed that way! Now this is a source of new inspiration for me. The most important thing is to look at life with a positive and enjoy everything.

– I have always been not a skinny girl, and at the age of 18 I decided to lose weight. I went to the gym. After some time, the coach saw potential in me – I have a lot of strength. So I started preparing for my first fitness competition. After 4 years, I set a record and received the title of candidate for master of sports.
Now I also go to dances, because they contribute to weight loss and make the figure more feminine – from the barbell press, it began to approach the shape of a triangle.
And when I got to the “Complete Perfection” contest, I realized that my figure was perfect: a pumped-up priest, a toned torso, and a waist. You need to love you for who you are, enjoy even the smallest piece of cake.

– I have been overweight since early childhood. My parents changed their place of residence and, as the endocrinologists later said, the climate did not suit me. Never in my life have I been satisfied with my weight. Which led to numerous attempts to get rid of him. I tried all sorts of options with the exception of tablets and pills, which guarantee phenomenal results. Through trial and error, I achieved the maximum result – minus 62 kg.
Now I love myself and accept who I am, but despite this, I do not want to stop there. Since well-being and health are a priority. And I have something to compare with. No matter how I change outwardly, my kindness, lightness, openness, love, sincerity, sensitivity, attentiveness, femininity are and will be in me. This is equivalent to wrapping Rafaello in a toffee wrapper – its taste will not change.

– From the very childhood it was “whipped”. An important role was played by Perthes’ disease, which I had a baby with – I did not go for two years, because of which my metabolism was disturbed. But due to being overweight, I never had a complex, did not go on diets.
But when I gave up bread a year ago, my weight decreased by 15 kg. At the moment, my weight does not bother me and does not burden me, but I understand perfectly well that with age there may be health complications. Of course, in the future I will take care of myself, perhaps go on a diet and go to the gym.
Since childhood, my grandmother taught me not to pay attention to insults from those people who considered themselves ideal. To the words: “Oh, look how fat,” she always answered: “And you are dystrophic.” And so it happened (smiles).
I am an active, positive person, the soul of the company, and for this my family, friends and acquaintances love me.

– The history of my figure has not yet been completed … This story is filled with events, changes and transformations.
It all started like a fairy tale: a beautiful little girl was born. She grew, flourished and delighted those around her with her ideal beauty! But then something went wrong – either the fairy godmother was not in the mood, or I was mistaken in a fairy tale. As my mother says, “the broad bone took its toll and turned me into a gorgeous ad for weight loss products, in the part where they write“ before ”!
So, the nee Barbie, after parting with Ken and the tragedies she experienced, turned into a juicy woman who retained a cheerful disposition, optimism, healthy self-irony and a desire to love and be loved!
I struggle with my soft excesses every day, but I love myself different! And every time they look at me with condemnation or dislike, I remember my little son, who says that I am “the fluffiest mother in the world”!

– I have always been a girl with forms, even when I played sports and starved myself. I was worried that I could not lose weight and be a model. But over time, she resigned herself to her imperfect form, and began to learn to love herself for who she is.
But after the injury, the weight became critical. I sounded the alarm and started working hard on my body. I think it should be healthy, no matter what weight. Therefore, I work out in the gym three times a week, go to water aerobics, dance, and follow a healthy diet. For 8 months I have lost 18 kilograms. But this is not the limit – I build my body further.
My secret of losing weight is simple: “Sew up your mouth, play sports, be outdoors more, have a healthy sleep.” In my case, there are no other options.
Once I received an offer to appear in a catalog of clothes for obese women. At first I thought it was a joke, I came to the shooting out of curiosity, and the photos turned out to be good. They began to invite me to work as a model. I would never have thought that being overweight can make money! I can tell all plump girls and women: “Love yourself and your body, take care of it, it will certainly thank you. And most importantly – be a positive and cheerful person, because the most important decoration of a person is his smile and sincere shining eyes. “

– Since childhood I was a chubby girl, in adolescence I tried to lose weight, but the weight came back. Now I myself can write a book about how to lose weight, I’ve tried so many things!
Seven years ago I was invited to dance in the show-ballet of fatties “Full show”, here I got rid of complexes forever! Going on stage, I catch admiring glances – people like how I look, how I dance, what emotions I give them. The scene helped me to believe in myself, that I am attractive. At the moment, I am at the ideal weight, which I try to stick to, in which I am comfortable, and I do not lose my personality.

– I have been at this weight for 20 years already. Before, I was very worried about this, and every time I heard the phrases “you can’t get through”, “you won’t get through” I was offended. Of course, I was on diets, and I am still registered with an endocrinologist so as not to get diabetes. I watch my diet, do fitness. But more often the desire to eat something tasty overpowers, so while my weight is stable.
A close friend helped me to regain faith in myself, who directly persuaded me to start wearing skirts, heels, sweaters with a neckline. I showed other girls on the street who were similar in build to me, but at the same time men looked after them, as they looked stunning. And I began to slowly introduce such things into my wardrobe. First I bought wedge shoes, slowly switched to heels and began to notice the interested looks of men. And there it was already a little easier, since men began to meet me those who were satisfied with my parameters.
Now I work at a tank farm, where there are a lot of fuel truck drivers who like to compliment. And since I have natural optimism, cheerful and kind communication, naturally, the number of my fans has increased. So I came to the conclusion that not all men like women of world standards.

– It seems to me that she began to recover at the age of 7-8. From the age of 6 I have been successfully dancing. There was a case when in the House of Pioneers at one of the classes I was asked to leave the class, and everyone else was told that they were free – they began to recruit another group for me.
I was engaged in dancing until the age of 14. In the last collective of “Konopushka” the teacher forced me to study in sacks and wrapped me in plastic so that I could lose weight. It didn’t work for me. But I danced well, and I was not kicked out of the team. In the senior classes of the school there were shaping, aerobics, dance classes. I went to the gym. In principle, sport in one form or another has always been present in my life. And I always wanted to become slim. There were, of course, diets, and starvation, and coding. But at the same time, I have always been a cheerful, open person with a lot of friends and girlfriends. Neither at school, nor at the institute, I did not feel like an outcast. I was not teased or avoided.
In 2011, I accidentally found out that in our city they want to organize a dance show for fat girls. I came to the casting and started dancing in The Full Show. In 2014, I went on maternity leave and gave birth to a son. And in 2016 she began working in a dance group in the show program of the Blue Beetle club.
I take part in the “Complete Perfection” competition to show that girls with forms live a bright, cheerful, interesting life. They achieve success in their careers, in their personal lives. Any girl is beautiful if she loves, is loved and accepts herself for who she is.

– Since childhood, I had problems with being overweight, I always loved to eat deliciously. At the same time, she led a sports lifestyle and never lay on the couch. She began to lose weight at the age of 15. I was engaged in athletics, dancing. I tried all the methods of struggle: pills, acupuncture, hypnosis, encoding, but all this was not for long. I am like the balloon that is deflated and then inflated back.
At the moment I feel very comfortable, friends and relatives say “We will never perceive you thin and pale!” So I accept myself as I am – a cheerful, kind, cheerful donkey.

– I was not always plump. When she recovered, she was very shy, even depressed. And then I realized that life is passing, but I somehow stay on the sidelines! And now my life is boiling with bright colors, and I try to make every day even better! I started going to the gym, working out with a trainer! I run, jump, smile, because I am a holiday woman!
I don’t advocate completeness, but I don’t think that if your weight and figure do not correspond to generally accepted standards, that you are some kind of flawed person! People are different, the main thing is to remain human, to accept yourself as you are at the moment. And live here and now! I know a lot of people who, even in high weight, live a bright life, they are loved, desired, well-groomed and feel great!

– Until the age of 24, I was a very slender girl, went in for sports and weighed 51,9 kg. I could not even imagine that someday I would weigh 114 kg. It all started with the first pregnancy. From 16 weeks, she began to gain a lot of weight. During pregnancy, she gained almost 40 kg and began to weigh 90 kg. I calmed myself: I will give birth – and I will lose weight! And in fact, after the birth of my daughter, I began to slowly fold. In the early 2000s, there were many “miracle cures” in advertising for weight loss, which were advertised by pop stars and actors. Everyone assured that with the help of these pills you can lose weight quickly and painlessly! A friend advised me to try these pills. If I knew then how it would turn out for me …
At first I lost 9 kg. But the state while taking the drug was terrible: I almost did not eat, my mood changed, then I felt very energetic and vigorous, then I fell right off my feet from fatigue. It got to the point that I began to faint. Two weeks after a month’s course of treatment with these pills, I noticed that I began to swell a lot, there was shortness of breath. And then … I began to gain 10 kg per week. I went to the doctor. But the pills have already done their job. The thyroid gland barely worked. I was put on hormones for life.
I was 28 years old. I just hated myself. Even thoughts of suicide came. How a woman abandoned herself at all. The family fell apart, and I have already given up on myself. This went on for three years. Chance helped me.
One friend let slip that she got a job in a fatty show. That’s exactly what she said: “I got a job!” At that time I really needed money and asked her to arrange a casting for me. My attitude to it was something like this: “Well, the circus of freaks, this is the place for me!” How wrong I was! After six months of working on this show, I did not even remember my depression: I blossomed, discovered a woman in myself. It was so nice to receive compliments from the audience, especially from men after the performances! This was the starting point when I stopped fighting with myself and began to live a full life.
Now I go hiking with a 30-kilogram backpack, do cardio workouts in the gym, try to dress brightly and noticeably. It happens that I catch on myself indignant glances from women my age and older, but this does not surprise me. When a person does not accept himself, it is very difficult for him to accept others! Therefore, I wish everyone peace of mind, harmony and happiness!

I have no complexes about being overweight. I had no particular attempts to diet. After giving birth, she lost 18 kilograms, but while she was at home on maternity leave, they came back. I feel comfortable in my body. Now, after the competition, I plan to revise my diet and continue to adhere to proper nutrition.
