Joana Latino and the weight loss of Deslandes: “Stand up”

Carolina Deslandes was highlighted in the “Red Passeira”, SIC Caras, because of its recent physical transformation, being visibly thinner. 

Joana Latino began by commenting on the issue by revealing herself to be “very concerned with the progress of this thing of the use of the LPG-1”.

“ I think it's wonderful that I've been found a medicine that helps people get out of the state of obesity. I find it miraculous, even, that people who have lived with a very complicated disease for many years can now finally have the right treatment to find a healthy body and mind.

The fear I have about this is that people become what we are seeing on the red treadmills around the world, which are corpses, skeletal people, malnourished with clear health problems. There is no need to be a doctor to see that they are there pretending they are not in these medical protocols”, he explained. 

Joana Latino continued by saying that she is “being sold to society that the smaller/decreased physically if it is, the more valuable it is. And that having a little weight outside of these measures is the responsibility of one’s own, the fault of one’s own, and that person is socially condemned for not being a zero size”.

“ When we're talking about a size zero, we're talking about an XXS in Portugal. We are saying that a person who is S, M, L or XL, who has nothing to do with even overweight, is socially reprehensible. That this person is failed, less valuable, no good. We're valuing something we haven't done for ten years, when we valued the diversity of bodies, even the barbies had the widest hips and the narrowest hips, the highest, the lowest..

Now we're going back to the scattering, to an idea that came from patriarchy and that weighs above all on women, which is obedience, self-control, self-discipline for you practically disappear. And this disappearing is not only the weight, it is also the mind”, continued. 

“Carolina does whatever she wants. What I can’t understand is that someone who spoke publicly spoke about his excess weight, and the way he dealt with his body, now solve that he has every right – the right of which he gave up when he spoke so much when things were overweight – not to talk about it when there is a very rapid transformation of his body,” he said.

“We don’t want Carolina to talk about the way she is losing weight – me and my alter egos – but what I feel is that she has a moral duty to say what is going on with her, what work she is doing and what motivates her, above all, emotionally to make this change,” she argued.

“ Because if she was inspired by the acceptance of a larger body, she can also be inspiring in her opposite. And what she is doing is pushing people away, being pedantic and being superior to talk about this issue, which I think is unfortunate and gives me the feeling that she is just entering a social corset of corporal decrease, pressure that society now exerts”, she added. Look here joana Latino's opinion. 

“ I loved myself fat and I love myself skinny”, says Deslandes after fan talk about hypocrisy

The theme was highlighted especially after Carolina Deslandes responded to a follower. 

“ Still the other day I heard someone say: when they are fat, the speech is in defense of those who are fat and the pride of their body, the acceptance, the cry of revolt against the image that the thin is that it is beautiful. Carolina was one of those people and always said there were no complexes. Today I ask, what happened to this Carolina? Was it pressure? Hypocrisy? ", said the said follower, who later received the response of the singer. 

“ My speech is about freedom and freedom of choice. And to love each other regardless of our form. I love myself fat and I love myself skinny. I don't think that's what hypocrisy means. I'm free to introduce myself and be like making me feel better. I wish you the same. Good morning rest”, reacted Carolina Deslandes.
