Paula has plenty of determination and persuasion to win a spot on BBB 25. And these talents are visible in the life experiences of this resident of São José dos Campos, São Paulo. At 48 years old, she, who is part of a duo with her daughter, Nicole, considers herself multifaceted: she has a degree in journalism, works as a governance advisor at the city hall, occasionally sells cheese that she brings from Minas Gerais, and has an online travel agency.
“Things fall into my hands and when I see them... I got this salesman side from my father. My family is from the north of Minas Gerais and when I would visit everyone at work they would ask me to bring cheese, before I knew it, I was bringing 10, 20. I know the supplier and, today, I sell 100 to 150 cheeses”, she said.
Paula shows her focus in the healthy lifestyle she leads, with workouts and a balanced diet. At the beginning of each month, she spends 1h30 of her day weighing each item in her lunchboxes.
“I follow a strict diet. I have someone who cooks for me and I weigh all my lunch boxes. I don’t trust others to weigh them. I spend an hour and a half weighing everything until I have 45 lunch boxes. I don’t drink soda and I avoid fried foods and sweets. I see results and that encourages me to continue. There are times when I eat four eggs in the morning and four in the afternoon.”[1]
