The singer shared with her followers her difficulty as an overweight girl • "Today the best part is that kids dress up as me"


The Israeli Eurovision winner Neta Barzilai stopped the happy Purim celebrations for a moment, and chose to raise awareness of the difficulty of overweight children to find costumes for the holiday.

Today (Monday), the singer uploaded a series of stories to her Instagram account, which has 474 thousand followers, where she spoke openly and candidly about her complex relationship with the holiday of Purim, which is being celebrated these days, as a overweight girl who could not find a costume in her size in the usual toy stores.

"I never liked Purim, also because I never entered in the costumes that were sold in the stores," wrote Neta against the background of a photo of herself as a child wearing a colorful wig.

"Which was socially embarrassing in the classroom," she added.

"But also because in my head I couldn't dress up as a princess because I knew I didn't look like one," she shared her feelings.

In another story, Barzilai uploaded a picture of herself in a costume.

"Here I am Jasmine (a character from the movie "Aladdin"), and very, very worthy," she congratulated herself.

"It took me years to accept and love myself, and to understand that someone wants me to lose all the fun just because he's not comfortable with himself. A very common disease," she emphasized.

Later, she added more photos of her, from the last few years, in which she dressed up as a variety of characters.

"Here I am Dorothy, very far from Kansas," she joked.

"Here I am very sexy", she wrote against the background of another costume of hers from "Aladdin", this time as a genie.

"The best part of Purim is that children dress up for me, for some of them, just like when I was a child, there was no one to dress up for."

concluded optimistically.
