Skoraj shirala do smrti, sedaj je model za večje številke

Liza Golden-Bhojwani je bila leta 2013 na dobri poti, da postane supermodel. Najeli so jo za newyorški teden mode, ameriška edicija revije Vogue jo je kovala v zvezde … Še med modnim spektaklom v New Yorku se je onesvestila, in to med pripravo svojega kosila – 20 fižolov, ki ji je kuhala na pari. V tistih časih je na dan zaužila le 500 kalorij. Po zlomu je Liza sklenila, da ne bo več stradala. "Mislila sem, da bom še vedno suha, če bom pojedla malce več, da se ne bi počutila tako slabo.“ Liza pa ni pojedla le malce več, ampak se je začela nažirati. "Predajala sem se vsaki želji po hrani, čeprav sem vedela, da gre za zelo pomemben čas v moji karieri. Teden mode sem dobro prestala, nihče ni opazil, da sem se zredila. Ko pa je prišel čas za londonski teden mode, so se kilogrami že poznali, a sem o tem molčala, da si ne bi škodila.“ Liza je spet začela z dietami in telovadbo, a se kilogramov ni mogle več znebiti. Četudi je bila bolj okrogla, so jo najeli za milanski teden mode, a je morala po nastopu poslušati kritike, da so njena stegna predebela. Sledil je pariški teden mode, na katerem pa ni dobila dela, zato je spet začela s preštevanjem kalorij. "Tako fit še nisem bila nikoli. Imela sem celo radiatorčke. Za Victoria’s Secret in druge blagovne znamke pa še vedno nisem bila dovolj natrenirana.“

Boj s tehtnico je opustila po obisku Indije, kjer je spoznala svojega moža in popolnoma spremenila življenjski stil. Sedaj nosi konfekcijsko številko 44 in spada med najbolj uspešne manekenka za večje številke. Pogodbo je podpisala kar s tremi modnimi agencijami.

 

A little flashback Friday action for you. This caption will be long and won't fit, so if you'd like to read please find the rest in the comment section....The left side was me at the start of the peak of my career. My first proper fashion week where I was actually the size I needed to be. I was booking amazing shows that one never thinks they actually could, walking with girls who I once looked up to, it was a serious adrenaline rush...but after fainting one night in my apt whilst preparing one of my very low cal meals (I think it was 20 pieces of steamed edamame if I remember correctly), I called it quits with the diet and workout regime I was put on and decided I could do it on my own. I thought to myself, I can still be this thin, but I'll just eat a little more so I don't feel so horrible. Well, eating a little more turned into eating nearly a bag full of almonds, which then turned into eating full size meals, which then turned into a full blown binge. I was craving every single food you could imagine and I was giving in to every craving even though I knew this was such an important time in my career. I made it through NYFW okay, no one had noticed any weight gain, but by the time I had gotten the LFW I could see the pounds starting to show both in the mirror and on the measuring tape, but I kept quiet obviously not wanting to sabotage myself. I found myself going to the grocery store and picking up raw vegetables to try and make up for the near two week binge I had in NY, but I didn't see any weight coming off no matter how "healthy" I was eating and no matter how many workouts I fit in. MFW came and I knew I was bigger and by bigger I mean a 35.5in hip rather than the 34.5in hip I started with in NY, I played it cool and just pretended everything was normal. I did end up booking shows, Dolce & Gabbana being one of them. Which I afterwards received online criticism about my thighs looking fat...Anyways PFW came about, and I found it impossible to resist those chocolate croissants I went on many a casting with one exclusive option being on my schedule, but after meeting the client I knew the reason for me not nailing the gig, my size...
