“I Was Very Abusive Of Myself”: Gisele Bündchen Details Harrowing Phase Of Her Life Prior To Meeting Eventual Husband Tom Brady

The beautiful muse of many designers, photographers, and tabloids, Gisele Bündchen, owned the fashion scene in the early 2000s. She was the most in-demand model at those times who appeared on more than 1,200 magazine covers. And to become a supermodel is not a walk in the park. One needs a high level of dedication and professionalism to grow in this viciously competitive career. Therefore, the rigorous nature of the work took her to some dark time.

The entire world knows and has seen the work of Gisele Bündchen. It is not news that the Brazilian beauty is perfect at what she does. But because of her popularity and professionalism, her demand grew. And she felt compelled to accept every modeling gig that came her way.

To stay relevant and become the best among other girls, seldom did she say no to any work. Also, Bündchen noticed how frequently girls entered and left the industry.

“When I was working every day I was completely detached from my emotions, and I didn’t know the toll it was taking on me,” she said in a casual interview. Bündchen “was traveling everywhere” and had no stability. “I was very abusive of myself. I wouldn’t sleep,” the model also confessed to eating junk food every day. And worked for a lengthy 10 to 12 hours. The anxiety made her cry out of nowhere.

Gisele Bündchen revived herself from her tiring career

After being unhappy with her extremely demanding job, she changed herself from the inside out. When she was 22, she took a break from her glamorous work to spend quality time with her family. “I miss my mom. I want to go home!”

The furlough was exactly what the young model needed. After a trip to Africa with her family, Bündchen felt loved and nourished. Then, when she was back at her work, she gave up coffee, smoking, and alcohol, and started meditation.

The wife of Tom Brady is also an athletic babe. “I did skydiving, bungee-jumping, kayaking, surfing, jumping horses—my horse was 18 hands, and it stepped on my foot and I couldn’t walk.” She has forever been good at kung fu and volleyball. These changes in habits made her feel and become healthier than ever!
