Before turning 13, Sophie McGarva took lots of junk food and snacks. When she was in middle school, as she was not really into sports and was eating a lot of bad food, she reached almost 90kg.
Her classmates often made fun of her. She reported it to teachers, but that didn’t work. In the beginning, she was never too worried, although it was a time when students cared about their looks and all the girls around her were really slim. But after one year, a few girls laughed at her because of her size and did terrible things. She then decided to make a change to prove everyone wrong. She began watching her diet and exercising more.
She started to learn dancing, go swimming and ice-skating. After lots of hard work, she lost nearly 22kg. Sophie now is 21 years old. She became one of the 44 women to make it through to the Miss England national finals last weekend. The student now stays in shape by going to the gym three times a week.
At school, Sophie was easily influenced. She was often taught by those around her that beauty was only the reflection in the mirror. But after she lost weight, she came to know that it was not true. She joined the Miss England to challenge herself. She wanted to become more confident and to make her younger self proud. Now she made it.
