Paolla Oliveira says she suffered from tachycardia under pressure for a perfect body: “I sweated nervously”

It’s not now that the actress Paola Oliveira you pay for a perfect and slim body. But she stopped letting it influence her. To the Fantasticfrom the Globe, this Sunday, the 14th, he said he had changed the way he dealt with criticism and impositions on the body which, after all, is his. “What we’re talking about here is freedom, you know?”

In addition to being an actress, Paolla is also the drum queen of the Grande Rio and says that there were times when she even thought about quitting the role at carnival.

“Imagine getting dressed and thinking I’m beautiful, making a wonderful dress, and you go to the fitting. I get to the fitting, you’re gongada, you’re slaughtered, criticized, you don’t want to come back,” she says.

She says that she was already very impressed by the search for the perfect body, that she kept diet magazines since she was little, but that she now faces life with more freedom. Both to have the body she wants, and to go out as she wants and be able to enjoy the Carnival. Concern about the way she was photographed has eased.

However, over the years and with the support especially of followers on social media, perspectives have changed and she has stopped trying to fit into impossible models. “I didn’t feel like that, I felt good, happy. Then I started to see the wave of women admiring, and I started to see the criticism of one from a little more distant perspective,” she comments.

Now she makes videos on Instagram praising the acceptance of one’s body, not without the awareness of being part of a very small group herself. “I respond, I discuss, I make videos. I feel brave doing this. From the heights of my privilege, a standard, successful white woman, I say: they won’t leave me alone,” says Paolla.

It highlights that these demands are yet another element of the unbalanced balance between men and women, from which they remain excluded in many circles. “Probably those who are deciding the world order of things are not pointed out, asking if the tie matches the suit.”

The change, however, did not happen overnight. Paolla says she has been provoked for years by various messages of social pressure for thinness and greater physical acceptance. For her this concerns all women, who end up not taking a stand. “It’s all the time, but we’re quiet. Being more comfortable makes me want to talk more, to want to subvert the places I’ve already occupied.”
