Hi everyone,

I really wanted to take a moment to explain my absence, as these past few weeks have been intense and challenging. My obesity has led me to face some serious health issues, and this period has left a deep mark on me.

It all started with significant breathing difficulties, which, as you know, is almost my trademark at this point. Things got worse day by day, to the point where I fainted and couldn't breathe at all. I ended up being hospitalized the first time to stabilize my breathing. After a few days, I managed to come home, thinking things would improve. But just two days later, my condition worsened again, with new symptoms appearing, and I had to be rushed back to the hospital in an ambulance. This time, the doctors also discovered that my heart is under strain due to my weight, which has complicated things further. I experienced several cardiac episodes and had to remain in the hospital.

And then, to make this period even more challenging, my bed finally gave out under my weight. I got trapped in the wreckage, unable to get up on my own, and ended up with a few minor injuries while trying to free myself. After several hours, my parents and neighbors helped me get out. I may not be that heavy, but my health has definitely taken a toll on my strength. I already have very little muscle mass, and with my breathing and heart issues… I ended up having to invest in a new bed, with a mattress and base, costing over €3,000.

For now, I've decided to continue living with my obesity and moving forward on this path. I want to keep gaining weight, but at a more controlled pace, trying to slow things down a bit—especially since I need to pay off my bed before investing more in food. I know this might surprise some people, but it’s what feels right for me at the moment, and I’m moving forward at my own pace.

Thank you so much for your messages and support during this difficult time. To show my gratitude for your patience and loyalty, I’ll be offering a special discount for all of you, my followers. It may take me a few days to apply it to everyone since I’m doing it manually. I’m still in the hospital, so I appreciate your patience.

As soon as I’m out, I’ll show you my new bed, and I’ll also do a little live Q&A! I’ll start on Instagram to reach more people, then here for any more… specific and detailed questions.

Thank you for your patience, and I’m truly sorry
for the wait.
