From phytonian to fatty: why did the fitness blogger gain weight on purpose?

From phytonian to fatty: why did the fitness blogger gain weight on purpose?

Kate Reiter lost weight from 120 kg, but soon decided to return to her former life.

Modern insta-trends dictate us beauty standards. Often slim and trim girls from photos say that for happiness it is enough just to lose extra pounds and do a couple of plastic surgeries to correct imperfections. And don’t forget to start leading a healthy lifestyle, staying in the gym and counting calories every day. Perhaps, for some, this is a really suitable scheme. But Kate Ryther from Australia proved by her example that there are no identical life scenarios, and not every girl wants to be thin and athletic.

Who is Kate Ryther?

The blogger with an audience of more than 100 thousand subscribers lives in Australia and successfully develops her page through unexpected changes in appearance. The fact is that a few years ago Kate herself did not know life without a gym, kitchen scales and low-calorie recipes.

By nature, the girl was deprived of a slender figure, so to maintain her shape she had to actively work on herself. This often led to serious health problems.

The fact that people say I looked healthier when I was slimmer proves how little we know about health. When I was underweight, I was far from healthy. I exercised too much, I restricted my diet, I lacked energy. I completely lost my sex drive, I had a poor social life, and my relationships deteriorated. I experienced body dysmorphia, mood swings, experienced constant negative self talk and spent years counting calories and being in a deficit. And yet I was “healthier”!!!?

How did the extra pounds help you become happier?

Kate admits that when she looks at old photos, she doesn’t see the dream body, but the obsession she used to have.

It reminds me of a time when I didn’t go to events so I didn’t have to eat out. It reminds me of the times I wasted time with friends, family, and my husband because I put the gym first. It reminds me of daily weigh-ins, secret overeating, and the constant desire to be smaller.
And you know, it reminds me of the sadness of being shy and never feeling good enough.

The girl realized that being overweight suits her. Plus, without a huge amount of restrictions, she not only looks happier, but also prettier, thanks to a healthy sparkle in her eyes. She admits that she spent too many years waiting for a certain size to make a holiday or wear “the one” swimsuit. Now, however, Kate is confident, accepting and loving her real body, no matter what it looks like.

However, this does not mean that Reiter has completely stopped watching her figure. The blogger also goes to the gym 5-6 times a week and works out for her own pleasure.

What are the advantages of lush forms?

In addition to boundless happiness, the rounded forms of the girl allowed her to earn much more. Now Kate often appears in advertising campaigns of brands and on the pages of magazines as a plus-size model.

In addition, the number of subscribers to the athlete’s blog began to grow rapidly. Hundreds of thousands of insecure girls are asking for advice under her posts, writing thank you notes and asking to continue to talk about their experiences. In connection with this, the number of advertisements on Kate’s personal profile has increased, which has also increased her income. Her own line of sportswear for girls of all sizes is also flourishing. And what’s more, it was those shapes that emphasized her happy look at the altar at her own wedding.
