A picture was revealed of Shin So Yool when she was chubby.
On the 2nd, Shin So Yool confessed on SBS's "Strong Heart" that she "used to wear size 77 because she weighed 75 kg when she was 20". When her chubby picture was revealed, the "Strong Heart" panel members were shocked and asked, "Is that really you?"
What was the reason she went from a size 77 to a size 44? She said, "I was lucky and became a theater major. I was never interested in losing weight because I never thought to win people over with my looks so I never went on a blind date. Theater majors are usually popular, but I wasn't." She then revealed the reason why she decided to lose weight.
The deciding factor was her boyfriend's shocking words. Shin So Yool admitted, "Even though I was 75 kg, I had a boyfriend. He would always tell me not to lose weight, but he said something else when he was with his friends". When his friends asked him, "Don't you think your girlfriend should lose weight?" he just sighed. When he was asked, "If she's fat, don't you not see her as a woman?" and her boyfriend replied, "She's just like a younger sister."
Shin So Yool was so shocked that she started dieting. She said, "I didn't eat a single meal for a month and a half. I only drank water and stayed in bed. When I got really hungry, I would eat a piece of cabbage. That is how I survived for 40 days." That is how she lost 30 kg in a month and a half.
She sadly went on to say, "After losing weight, when I went to school, rumors started saying that I got a complete plastic surgery makeover. However, my male seniors started to buy me food. I wanted to get revenge on my boyfriend so I lost all that weight, but I still liked him so we dated for another two years."
It is dangerous to skip eating while not exercising. So Shin So Yool advised, "If you rush into a diet, your weight will be unstable while your body will easily get bloated. You need to exercise to get of cellulite."
