“It took me a long time to feel comfortable in my body...I wish I was kinder to myself because I am only human.” - Emily Didonato
The 28-year-old model opened up about her"road to self-love and body positivity" in a candid YouTube video on Sunday.
"It was a bummer," she said."I was kind of like ‘What do I need to do to succeed? To me, to be successful, it was to be thin. So, I was like ‘I'm going to do whatever it takes.' And I did." "I was lonely. I was homesick. I missed my friends. I didn't know what I was doing in this big city. I didn't know anyone. I didn't even know how to make new friends because, like, making friends as an adult is actually very hard," she recalled."I was going to castings, and I still wasn't getting great feedback."Charlotte Willer
But after seeing the photos from the shoot, DiDonato was"so upset" and"hated" the way she looked. While she expected to receive negative feedback, the opposite happened. In fact, she started working more than ever. She also said finding new friends and hobbies that weren't focused on her looks helped. In addition, she said she tried cutting off negative thoughts and bringing in positive self-talk.
