Public figures in the dieting world often face intense scrutiny about their bodies. Renowned diet guru Sonja Bakker recently experienced body shaming after posting a photo on Instagram, with many followers noting she looked very thin—perhaps too thin.
Sonja acknowledges the observation but shares a deeply personal reason behind it.
Her noticeable weight loss stems from the heartbreaking death of her father, with whom she had a very close relationship. He passed away two months ago from colon cancer complications, an event that has profoundly affected her. “We looked after him day and night for a year with so much love. Because of all the sadness that must be given a place, I just went for a walk with my dog and family in nature. And indeed, no appetite for food and tears with spouts.”
