Davide Bonolis, un periodo buio: Trovavo serenità solo nel cibo, arrivai a 104 kg
“Davide Bonolis, a period of darkness: I found serenity only in food, and I reached 104kg. The son of Paolo Bonolis and Sonia Bruganelli shares his story on Instagram, detailing his most difficult years as a young man. Until now, Davide, 20 years old, has been very reserved about his private life, but he decided to open up and share his story to help others who may be going through similar struggles. He talks about the weight gain and the problems that came with it, specifically the mono-nucleosis that kept him away from soccer for six months when he was 11. After that, he says he became withdrawn and began to turn to food to cope with his emotions, fearing being judged and laughed at. He writes about how he would eat copiously to feel comforted, but this behavior brought him little joy.
Thanks to his grandfather, who fought tirelessly to help him develop healthy eating habits and lose weight, Davide was finally able to realize the impact of his emotional eating on his life. After his grandfather's death, seven days later, Davide decided to start taking care of himself physically and emotionally. He slowly began to regain control over his eating habits and lifestyle, eventually losing weight and finding peace.
However, the process was not linear, and Davide notes that it took him about three years to finally work through all his issues, including feelings of insecurity, anxiety, and low self-esteem. He emphasizes the importance of seeking help, as it was only when he began working with a psychologist that he was finally able to overcome his inner demons. Today, thanks to this new journey of self-discovery, Davide has finally found inner peace and a healthy relationship with his body. The comments left by his mother, Sonia Bruganelli, are full of pride and admiration for Davide's courage in sharing his story, and hopes that it will help inspire others to do the same.”
