Sarah Marie - The beginning of my dream

I remember when everybody was laughing at me when I first say I was going to lose weight.

I was 16 years old I was weighing 250lb, I was sad because I could hear all the shady comments people were saying behind my back. I wanted to be a part of the popular group and being called beautiful and making all those guys crazy about me.

My grandmother believed in me and wanted me to change my habits for the sake of my health so she bought me a 3 months subscription to the gym. I will forever remember this because It was the first time that someone actually believed that I could do such a thing. I wasn’t always fat but for some reason, I wasn’t able to lose all that weight.

I can’t believe that a few years ago I was body shame because I was overweight and now I am a young Montreal model and that a lot of people are showing me love, support and they actually want to work with me.

But it’s only the beginning of my dream though. I know that I have a lot of work to do to be on top of the game and it won’t be easy.

 

I remember when everybody was laughing at me when I first say I was going to lose weight.

I was 16 years old I was weighing 250lb, I was sad because I could hear all the shady comments people were saying behind my back. I wanted to be a part of the popular group and being called beautiful and making all those guys crazy about me.

My grandmother believed in me and wanted me to change my habits for the sake of my health so she bought me a 3 months subscription to the gym. I will forever remember this because It was the first time that someone actually believed that I could do such a thing. I wasn’t always fat but for some reason, I wasn’t able to lose all that weight.

When I first went to the gym, I almost vomit and lose consciousness. It was hard but I was motivated so I went back the next morning. The first month I finally had my first results. I was so disappointed because I only loosed 3 lbs but it didn’t demotivate me. I went back for the other month but again I only loosed 9 lbs. I was so frustrated but since my grandmother paid for that subscription I put all my energy in the last month. I loosed 45 lbs that month. I was so surprised because it was unexpected. At this moment I knew that what I was doing wasn’t a waste of time. I was doing something great.

 

I worked out so much after that moment that In 8 month I loosed more than 110 pounds. This moment Is one of the best moment of my life because it taught me so much about life. I realized that if I was motivated and If I put in work as a human being I can do absolutely everything. It taught me that I am a strong woman and that as long as that I believe In me I can prove everybody wrong. It gave me so much confidence in myself, and I remember everybody was talking highly about me at school but I didn’t care because It was the same people that were laughing at me, the same people that didn’t believe in me.

A couple of years later I was contacted by a photographer. He saw me via Instagram and thought that I was beautiful and that I should try to do a shoot with him. I absolutely loved it. I was then contacted by a Montreal agency and I did my first professional shoot, It felt like If I was born to do so, Unfortunately for the professional reason I choose to distance myself from this agency but since I am doing modeling on freelance on the side. I am my own boss and customer contacts me via Instagram. I had 2 great connections with the photographer (I still work with them) and it helped me to build my portfolio.  Modeling helped so much to build an even stronger confidence in myself. I LOVED It for me It’s like art, I can express myself, my beauty and sensuality as a woman through modeling.

I can’t believe that a few years ago I was body shame because I was overweight and now I am a young Montreal model and that a lot of people are showing me love, support and they actually want to work with me.

But it’s only the beginning of my dream though. I know that I have a lot of work to do to be on top of the game and it won’t be easy. But If there Is something that I learn from my previous experience Is that If I put in work and I put all my focus, my mind and my energy Into It, I might be able to make It. I know I have more sweat, tears and difficult moments that are coming for me but at the end of the day, it’s worth it because I have a vision for me and my future. If I have any advice or maybe a reflection for me or an upcoming model it would be to stay humble, to stay true to its principles and to never stop working for what we really want in life. You could be amazed by what we are able to do when we truly put in work.
