Lucía Rivera has become a nationally recognized influencer over time. And the daughter of Blanca Romero and Cayetano Rivera has been in the spotlight since her birth, and she has become one of the media focuses. Something that she took advantage of to achieve one of her dreams: to be a model.
Now, the 25-year-old has wanted to be part of the fight against eating disorders, and last Thursday, on International Day, she wrote a letter in Cosmopolitan explaining her experience. A "self-analysis exercise" in the form of a letter written by her to herself.
"I thought about it a lot, when I published the book I felt a horrible invasion of my privacy. I would have been grateful if the media treated it without sensationalism. But I know it's a lot to ask," the model said in her Instagram stories, linking her letter in the aforementioned medium.
"After hours of thinking I told myself, they are going to criticize me anyway and the people who need to read this are not guilty of anything. So, I only ask one thing of you: NEVER OPINION ABOUT ANYONE'S BODY," he added.
"Dear Lucía," the actress's daughter has begun to write. After this, she wanted to affirm that her fight against her body began when she carefully observed her legs. "Suddenly, they were full of errors," she said. Likewise, she has reported that she looked for solutions to change that part of her body that they used to describe as "chopsticks, spaghetti...".
To achieve his goal, he stuffed himself with "protein shakes" to be able to "fill up" his legs. She tells how at 18 she was "sure" of her legs, but that she still continued looking at her reflection in the street windows while she tucked her "belly in." From that moment on, she began her spiral of suffering.
As he expresses in his letter, when he had a casting he could go "whole days" without eating any food. "You preferred to walk everywhere and run up the stairs," she added, before ensuring that she looked for "infallible remedies" on the Internet to find more solutions to what she saw as a problem. "Now I wonder how you did it, it was abuse," she continued.
Although he has now "reconciled with food," he wanted to make it clear that he still feels guilty about what happened when "food was the most worrying thing." With all this, he wanted to show his followers, and anyone who can relate, that the most important thing is "self-love."
