Virginia Da Cunha
, who rose to fame in 2001 with
Bandana
, shared a post on her
account in the last few hours that surprised her 142,000 followers.
It is that the singer and DJ shared a photo of her when
she was 20 years old (she just became known) and weighed 44 kilos
.
In addition, she accompanied that image with an extensive
open letter
in which she spoke of the
eating disorders
that she suffered at that stage of her life and called for the reflection of all women.
"44kg #tbt 2001.
That weighed when I was 20 years old, I looked like a 14-year-old girl.
I went to college, played sports and did jazz dance. I didn't stop, I demanded 10 in everything and
I got angry if the salad had more oil
"He began by saying.
And he continued with a paragraph especially dedicated to the singing contest that gave him the opportunity to be part of Bandana:
"With that body I went to the casting and was chosen...
suddenly millions of girls and women aspired to be like me."

"My energy was not in my body, on the earth; but in the air... in being able to keep moving. Until
my own body began to stop me through illnesses
, but it was my mind that had to heal; my look that needed to be transformed", he added.
So, the ex-partner of Ivonne Guzmán, Lourdes Fernández, Valeria Gastaldi and Lissa Vera made an analysis regarding society and all those women who, like her, suffered from an eating disease in their youth.
"All women go through a stage in life where we demand a 'beauty' so superficial and imposed that disease borders on us. A stage where
we become obsessed with weight and shape so as not to stop being desired
. Because they made us believe that That was our strength but it's a big trap," he said.

"The new challenge is balance... the new power is that of internal work, the new beauty is that of well-being...
Choose your food consciously and enjoy the pleasure of each bite
, move your body, but especially do not let to inhabit the pause, feed the soul and challenge the mind", he added in other lines.
And he closed:
"Free yourselves from the imposed molds. Happy Thursday!!"

As expected, numerous
media figures and women in general took advantage of this Virginia post to congratulate
her for having overcome such a situation and encourage themselves to talk about it publicly.
"I embrace your entire process
," wrote

next to a red heart.

Meanwhile, a follower of Da Cunha commented:
"How useful this message is for the new generations
since the molds are still very imposed even if it doesn't seem like it. Thank you for sharing it, Viri."
And another user added: "When I loved my 17 Bandana, I weighed 50 kilos. Then life took me to different places and today at 37 my body is different. I felt bad for a long time until I went to the doctor and it was the body that It took a
toll on me because I have to heal...
Thank you for this message and this post."
