Left – a frame from the shooting at the school, where Dasha was in practice. She studied to be a teacher and weighed 130 kg. Right – Dasha now weighing about 55 kg.
At school, Dasha’s life was like hell. Then she weighed 135 kg, which is why the high school students gave her the nickname Titanic and mocked her in every possible way. There were also problems with finding clothes in large sizes and moving around the city: it was difficult for the girl to walk.

Dasha found the motivation to lose weight in herself, deciding not to focus on models from magazines. As a result, proper nutrition and movement (up to 10 thousand steps a day) gave visible results.
“The first kilos went away quickly. It was easy to give up sweet and fatty foods, more difficult – from starchy foods. I set a goal – to lose weight up to 68 kg. But then I realized: you need to take small steps – to lose a kilogram, two, then another kilogram. So in two years the weight approached 66 kg, and I realized that I could still. And now I weigh 55-58 kg, ”22-year-old Dasha told Wday.ru.
