The name elisa pesini may not be familiar to most people. Even many fitness fans are not well aware of her.
If you are a bodybuilding enthusiast and follow the mr olympia bodybuilding competition every year and know something about the bikini event, then elisa pesini will certainly make some impression on you.
Because the fact that she ended up winning the bikini category of the 2019 mr olympia competition, after being "Unknown" Before, has shown everyone that she is a special person. However, what you may not have realised is that her title was not easy to come by and you may not be able to imagine how many obstacles she had to overcome to get to this point?
In 2016, elisa pesini became an ifbb pro for the first time and she quickly grew into an accomplished athlete and bikini competitor. In that time she has shown rapid progress, with the best moment of her career in her various competitions in 2019. This saw her finally win the miss bikini olympia bikini 2019 title after taking 4 first places in 5 competitions.
However, what you may not realise is that just by watching elisa pesini's stunning performance on stage, you have no idea how much she had to overcome to reach the level she is at now.
First of all, she had to train as hard as any other athlete. But, as she recently explained, she actually had to struggle with an eating disorder before she could find a healthy lifestyle that would lead to success.
What is an eating disorder to explain here?
Eating disorders are mild psychiatric disorders. Eating disorders, also known as bulimia, are characterised by binge eating, followed by vomiting or improper excretion (laxatives) of undigested food to maintain body weight, often leading to obesity in the absence of vomiting or stimulated excretion. There may also be a reduction in food intake or even skipping meals, with the aim of a slimmer figure, but this often leads to the failure of other organs in the body and affects life.
She herself, on social media, recalled.
"Your mind can take you anywhere you want to go. A lot of people don't know this, but i was at the worst state of my illness because i was working as hard as i could without knowing i was sick, and i was just trying to reach my limits and get thinner. However, after receiving treatment and hospitalisation, i realised that this was the wrong path. I made big mistakes, but i learned from them and it was through them that i became stronger and more progressive, which doesn't change the past, because it was my foundation that brought me here.
My heart worked in a different way, contributing to my favourite sport, it became my passion and it saved me because it showed me another way to be more mature. I hope that other girls with similar experiences will see how much they have missed out on in life and that they can still come out of it before it's too late. Today, thank god for believing in dreams!"
It was fitness and her love for the game that led her to get rid of her illness and choose a healthier, more active lifestyle .
It's amazing to see how far elisa pesini has come from her eating disorder to becoming an olympia champion. It shows that you never know what you can achieve when you set your mind to it.
Her story is a true inspiration to every man and woman who loves fitness.
