Who am I? 🙂
My name is Rosa Lazić, and I was born in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, in the late 1980s as the third child of two Serbs.
Garmisch-Partenkirchen is a small, lovely village next to Germany’s highest mountain: the Zugspitze. I finished high school, started studying in Munich, and have lived for five years in Berlin. For now, I’m back in beautiful Munich.
As a child, I was actually quite fat, never managed to do any sports, and I ate way too much, especially the wrong food. So I gained a lot of weight.
Here my journey begins
At the age of 14, I was really fed up with being the fattest girl, not fitting into the beautiful clothes all the other girls did, or even being bullied. However, I didn’t want to stop eating – I really love tasty food and I spend the main part of my money on food. I just wanted to know WHY I was so fat, WHY everything ended up like this, WHAT I did wrong, and WHAT I had to change. Here my journey has started, up to the present day.
I started reading everything I could about food, nutrition, and health. Just sucked it up like a sponge, and I was overwhelmed by the input I got. I started to question my nutrition and just realized that I really did everything wrong I could do wrong.
The consequence was a complete change in my way of living and nutrition: I started cooking for myself and doing some sports. The feeling of getting rid of the first pounds was wonderful! I began to lose weight, and I was so proud of my new self in the mirror, fitting into amazing clothes I never did fit in before, and I was so unbelievably happy with myself. I was so proud because I started to lose some weight many times, but never managed to keep on fighting. This time, everything was different.
10 months later, I lost about 30 kilograms! I really cannot say how much I weighed because I was afraid of the numbers on the scales. Plus, there are almost no photos of this period of my life because I was ashamed of myself. It must have been 80 kilograms at a height of 167 centimetres – way too overweight.
That’s me – after and before my weight loss 🙂
Nutrition and health have been my passion for more than 20 years!
Since I am 14 years old, I’ve been interested in nutrition, sports, and health. Being interested in these topics: Why do I eat and what do I eat, actually? I’ve had a lot of trial and error and ended up with nutrition due to my personal, ethical, and health reasons:
I am vegan, I avoid processed sugar, and I eat mainly organic food. Why „mainly“? You’ll get the answer in my blog posts 🙂
Furthermore, you’ll read things about stuff like plastic, tips, and tricks for your daily life, and everything I want to share with you to make things easier. I love sharing because sharing means caring.
That’s my journey till today
For 15 years, I’ve been a successful international model, photographer, and licensed nutritionist. Furthermore, I’ve finished my master’s degree in Business Administration and Economics, I am a certified sustainability manager and Reiki Master/ Bodyworker. And, in 2021, I’ve co-founded Dein Kakao with an old friend of mine and, ever since, followed my mission to open some hearts out there with honest cacao. Here are some fun facts about me. It’s never boring 🙂
And I love my life exactly how it is – of course, there are some downs, but I know that after every down there are ups coming as well. Sometimes I ask myself what I would change if I won 30 million Euros: I have to admit that I really wouldn’t change anything. I would just travel a bit more than I already do.
Thanks for following, and if you have any questions: Feel free to ask!
Plus, sorry for my English – I’m not a native speaker and all translations are made by me. Hope you’ll excuse it! 😉
Enjoy reading my blog,
all the best,
Rosa <3
