HRT Journalist Loses 50kg, Confronts Haters: 'Clean Up Your Own Act'

Ivana Perić, a journalist for HRT known for her reports from Rijeka, has spoken out against online trolls commenting on her significant 50-kilogram weight loss over the past year and a half. Perić, who has openly shared her journey with weight management on social media, posted a video addressing the negative comments she has received.

“

This is for all those dear haters who are pouring wisdom on portals today. Here, a few portals published the news that Maja and I were in Slavonski Brod yesterday, where we held a forum. Along the way, they again reported my story about how I lost about fifty kilograms in a year and a half. And then, as expected, the "geniuses" appeared, already a bit annoying, with the same old lines that I would like to address.

Many critics questioned her transformation, with some suggesting her weight loss was solely due to medication like Ozempic or surgical intervention. Perić dismissed these claims, explaining that GLP-1 medications are not a simple solution for weight loss and require a comprehensive approach. She criticized those who spread misinformation about how these drugs work, urging them to educate themselves before offering advice.

“

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Someone can be beautiful to someone, ugly to someone. The most important thing is how I see myself, and I, thank God, look great like this, healthy.

Perić also tackled comments about potential excess skin and subsequent surgery, stating that while she would consider it if necessary, she is fortunate not to need it. She highlighted the dangers of obesity, contrasting it with the perceived risks of excess skin, and pointed out that many people die from obesity-related illnesses.

“

These are those geniuses who think that Ozempic is the only GLP-1 drug, who are obviously mentioned by people who have no idea how they actually work. My people, it's not an "impossible mission" to stuff yourself as if there's no tomorrow, inject yourself with Ozempic, nullify everything you've eaten, and that's how you'll lose weight.

Concluding her message, Perić encouraged her critics to "clean up in front of their own doorstep." She believes that individuals who are happy and content with themselves do not feel the need to project their frustrations by insulting others. Her statement champions self-acceptance and calls for a more positive online environment.

Therefore, my dears, stop pouring wisdom on social networks and rather 'clean up' in front of your own doorstep.
