I guess I was feeling brave yesterday morning because I let my boyfriend take pictures of me and my outfit. I actually asked him to do it. And now I’m publishing them. On the internet. It’s a big step for me. I never felt comfortable in my own body, much less now that I’m 30 kg overweight. Clothes don’t fit well, I hate to see myself on the mirror, in a picture, whatever. I’m doing it anyway. Just because I’m fat, doesn’t mean that I need to hide in a corner. I should not be afraid of who I am and, right now, this is me! Please don’t make fun of me?



Your attitude is important and you have pretty face my friend. Just hold on and look forward.

Beautiful pictures! ❤ Your hair is so pretty, and I love the pink cardigan. 😍 I need more clothes like that in my own closet – I tend to buy darker/dimmer-colored clothes instead of choosing brighter colors. It’s definitely something I should start doing! By the way, I just followed you on Pinterest; I’ll have to go check out your boards later!

Hey Maggie, thank you so much. It’s a blazer actually, but I also have pink cardigans! I have many pink and pattern clothes but I also dress in all black sometimes. I guess it depends on my mood. Thank you for your comment and I will also follow your pinterest so we can be pinterest buddies, ha!

Ahh, a blazer. I’m so terrible with remembering different types of clothes, haha! Dressing in black is so fun, but it definitely sets a dark mood lol. You’re welcome! That’s awesome. Pinterest is a great website!

Wow, that’s one of the nicest comments I’ve ever got. Do you know how to pronounce my name?

I know it’s a Portuguese form of Shelia and it’s also Spanish. I know how to pronounce it, but I don’t know if your pronunciation might be different.

My name was supposed to be Sheila, but they did not let my mother register me with that name because it was a foreign name. Sheila and Cheila are pronounced the same way in Portuguese but not in English. Sheila: Shee-luh and Cheila shay-luh
