EXCLUSIVE: Powerful martial artist Sophie Larissa Weiss shared before and after pH๏τos showing how much she has changed since cruel bullies body shamed her in the playground and workplace
A schoolgirl bullied for being peтιтe is now unrecognisable after getting ripped in the gym.
Sophie Larissa Weiss was body shamed for having a “flat chest and no curves” and humiliated in changing rooms where other girls would point and laugh.
An older man even told her she was “pretty but had no t*ts” while others recommended she “eat a burger”.
Sophie became a glamour model aged 19 but was again taunted for having small breasts.
And feeling Sєxy was something she never felt due to the crippling judgement she endured from her teenage years through to her 20s.
But Sophie, who also struggled with an eating disorder, has since spent thousands on a boob job while becoming super fit and strong after embracing martial arts.
The 30-year-old shared before and after pH๏τos with the Daily Star and said she is now in the shape of her life.
Opening up, she explained: “I used to get bullied for having no curves, for having a flat chest and for being skinny. But since I had a boob job and weight trained to thicken up my body I feel so much more confident.
“I’m naturally very skinny so it’s hard for me to just gain weight properly from eating food.
“The gym has been the best thing I got into. I feel much better about my body and I feel physically stronger. It changed my mindset and it helped improve my mental and physical health.
“Every time I go to the doctors and have tests they always say my health is on point.”
Sophie now earns an unusual living from beating up blokes from her living room using her boxing, wrestling and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu skills.
The Yorkshire lᴀss is known as the Barnsley Basher and men have flown from as far as Madrid to be dominated by her.
But her current career, where fans laud over her powerful physique, was once unimaginable given how she was treated in the past.
Speaking about the bullying, she said: “My first experience with body shaming was when I was in Year 7 and I was getting changed for PE.
“One of the mean girls pointed and laughed because I wasn’t wearing a bra but I had no t*ts so why would I need to?
“Then when I first started glamour modelling everything was just about my t*ts. It was a big t*t era and I was a mᴀssive misfit.
“Trolls used to bully me saying I should eat a burger and they used to point out my flat chest. Even my ex-boyfriend’s uncle used to comment on the fact I had no boobs and he used to say I was pretty but had no t*ts.
“I just felt like I was getting extremely picked apart for it. It’s ridiculous how human beings pick at someone over something that has nothing to do with them.”
If Sophie could now have a conversation with the younger her she would tell herself to consider who the people making the derogatory comments were.
Explaining what she meant, she concluded: “I was only 19 so I was only a baby and I took a lot to heart back then.
“I’m more grown mentally as a woman now and comments like that are usually from people who are unhappy with themselves.
“Never had these nasty comments come from a good looking successful person because they don’t need to do that. They focus on themselves and not on other people.
“The people saying negative stuff are the ones not doing well at life and it shows through their bitterness and lack of self interest or awareness.
“I feel embarrᴀssed for them for having such a weak mindset.”
