My Weight Gain Journey: From Struggle to Self-Love by Vira

The Side of the Story No One Talks About

For years, I silently battled something that most people overlook—the struggle to gain weight. While the world constantly talks about weight loss, there’s another group of us, often forgotten, who are trying everything to add healthy weight and feel confident in our own skin.

I was one of them.

Before my weight gain

The Emotional Toll of Body Dysmorphia

“Body dysmorphia isn’t vanity. It’s pain—quiet, invisible, and often misunderstood.”
My weight constantly fluctuated. Some days I felt okay, other days I couldn’t even look in the mirror without criticism. I developed body dysmorphia, constantly picking apart my reflection and wondering why nothing ever worked for me. It wasn’t just about appearance—it impacted my confidence, my relationships, and my mental health.

The Apetamin Phase & False Promises

Don’t get me wrong—I was definitely one of the Apetamin bandits. And honestly? I’m not ashamed of that. At the time, it felt like it was helping. I was finally gaining weight, getting compliments, feeling like I was one step closer to the body I always wanted.

But then came the day that changed everything.

I nearly crashed my driving instructor’s car. I was so drowsy and spaced out from the Apetamin that I didn’t even realize what was happening until it was almost too late. In that moment, my whole life flashed before my eyes. That was my wake-up call.

The truth is, it just wasn’t worth it. The weight I gained disappeared just as quickly as it came, and I was left feeling even more defeated. I had poured so much hope into this little bottle, not realizing how much it was draining me—physically, emotionally, mentally.

Looking back, that whole Apetamin phase felt like I was chasing an illusion. It promised confidence, but what I really got was constant fatigue, wild mood swings, and zero motivation.

I Tried Everything—Nothing Worked

I tried high-calorie diets, protein shakes, appetite boosters, and anything I could get my hands on. But either they didn’t work, or they came with side effects that weren’t worth it. I felt alone in my journey—until I finally decided to take matters into my own hands.

Why I Created My Own Formula

After trying so many products that left me bloated, discouraged, or just didn’t work, I knew there had to be a better way. I didn’t want a quick fix—I wanted something that was healthy, sustainable, and actually made me feel good even when I stop taking it. 

So I started doing the research. I spent months learning, testing, and developing a formula that would truly support my body—not work against it. I tested out ingredients such as Black Maca, Maca Roots, Provitamins, Aguaje and when it finally started working? Everything changed. 

I began to gain weight in a natural, safe way. I felt stronger, more feminine, and for the first time in a long time… I felt like me again. 

That’s why I created this formula—not just to help myself, but to help other women feel good in their bodies too. Because you deserve something that works with you, not against you.

Helping Women Just Like Me

So I get it—gaining weight isn’t always easy, and honestly, not enough people talk about that side of the journey. I used to feel frustrated, overlooked, and like no matter what I did, nothing worked. But once I found what worked for me, everything changed.

And it wasn’t just about filling out jeans or hitting a number on the scale—it was about feeling like me again. More confident. More at peace in my body. More empowered. And most importantly HEALTHY. 

That’s why I started sharing what helped me. Now, my products have helped thousands of women around the world gain healthy weight, rebuild their confidence, and finally feel good in their own skin.

This journey is about healing, self-love, and showing up for yourself—even if it looks different from anyone else’s. You’re not alone in this, and you deserve to feel amazing in your body.

You’re Not Alone

If you’ve ever struggled to gain weight…
If you’ve ever felt invisible in your own body…
I see you. I was you.
And I created this for US.

“Your journey is valid. Your body is worthy. And you deserve to feel good in both.”

With love and strength,
Vira.
