Roman Sawa

In 2020, Roman Sawa’s family noticed he was self-conscious about his body after he started pulling on his shirts to stretch them out. Roman’s behaviour towards food and exercise also began to change. He became fussier about what he was eating, and he started running. At first, his parents thought the physical activity was a good outlet for him during the pandemic. However, things continued to escalate throughout the spring of 2021 as Roman pushed himself harder. Exercising became an obsession, and he started losing weight.
