A young woman shows her family photos from her vacation in Spain. Then her mother makes a comment about her bikini body, which changes her life.
When Gemma (28), who lives in Manchester, returns from her holiday in Spain and shows her mother holiday photos in a bikini, her mother remarks sarcastically: “Gemma, you look like a beached whale in that.” The British “Sun” tells the story of the young woman.
Gemma, who was a size 16 at the time, knew she had gained weight, but her mother’s direct comment about how she looked in the bikini was a turning point for her, she told The Sun. She started eating healthier and exercising more. Within a year, Gemma lost more than a dress size. She sold her old, “thick” clothes and made around 700 euros in two months.
According to the report, she is grateful for her mother’s clear words. “My mother told me that I was fat. My first reaction was that I wanted to cry.” But now, a year later, she is glad that she had the courage and strength to be so direct. Her honesty has helped her lose weight and become healthier and happier.
Just recently, another woman reported on her experiences after losing weight. “Losing weight changed everything in my life,” she wrote in a brutally honest text. The Reddit user shared her experience of how a significant physical change within a few months affected her social environment and their interactions with her.
Lots of sun and rising temperatures are now the order of the day again. If you drive a lot, you’re probably relying heavily on the air conditioning in your car. Not without reason, as it cools significantly more and faster than leaving the windows open while driving. But you should still be careful.
