My big arms, belly made me cry: Avika Gor

Avika Gor of 'Uyyala Jampala' and 'Cinema Choopistha Mama' has spoken of how she has grappled with weighty issues. In a long Instagram post, the starlet revealed that she had become too weighty last year, something that pushed her into dejection. Avika resolved to work out hard and shed weight so she can love herself again.
She began saying that, last year, when she looked at herself in the mirror, she broke down. Big arms, legs, a well-earned belly. I had let go too much. If it were due to an illness, it would be okay because that would be out of my control. But, it happened because I ate anything and everything, and I didn't work out at all, the TV actress said.
She added that our bodies deserve to be treated well. I disliked the way I looked so much that I couldn't even completely enjoy dancing (which I love), Avika added, saying that she got so busy judging herself and feeling bad that she didn't leave any scope for outsiders to make her feel bad.
It's then she decided that enough was enough. Nothing changed overnight. I just started to focus on the right things. Things that I should be proud of (like dancing). I kept trying to eat better and working out, and I had various setbacks. But, it was important that I didn't stop. And my people were constantly there to guide me, Avika revealed.
She ended her message saying, Let's make self-love cool!
