Helena-Reet to Metropoli: I lost my youth because of complexes, I keep saying “NO” to so many opportunities for only one reason – I am not comfortable with my own body

OHMYGOSSIP – Helena-Reet Ennet, the 37-years-old owner and queen of OHMYGOSSIP -sites is successful Scandinavian business women, designer and websites owner who stays in first page news in all over the Nordic coutries. Today she exclusivey unveiled to Metropoli, that although she is famous and successful, she has her own weeknesses. This is probably the most frank interview she never gaved about her, Metropoli.net mediates.

– I lost my youth, the most beautiful years and also a lot of possibilities, because of shame and insecurity… and I continusly walking the same road.. I have´t changed. I keep saying “NO” to so many opportunities for only one reason – I am not comfortable with my own body, Scandinavian most famous blogger tells to Metropoli.net.

– It is very easy to guide people and it is very easy to be strong in theory, but the real life is much  more difficult. I have two lovely daughters, husband, big house with even more big garden, many successful businesses, fame and contacts, so many people envy my life – but still,  I can tell you honestly, I regret so many things in my life… mostly the things I have not done and the things I still not do because of “social norms” and my own unsecurities. I am strong and week in the same time. And this is killing me!

– I am imprisoned in my own body. I hate to be in public places, I do not want to go to TV shows. I tell “no” to new TV projects not monthly but weekly – in Estonia, in Finland, in Sweden, in Brazil and in USA. Not many people got these opportunities. Many of the projects are week, but there are also very very good ones and I am so sad, that I tell “no” to these as well, because I don´t love my body. It is always the same — for years already — I´ll tell to TV power people, that let´s do this great project after half year, not now.

– Why do I do this? Do I really believe that I´ll look better – more attractive, more sexy, more nice – after half year? I am still me, only half year older, not half way slimmer. I should start to accept my body and appearance as I am. I know, many girls feel the same, but this is difficult, very very difficult, mostly because of the society norms – everyone should look like models. This norm have killed my social life and have took my youth!
