On Saturday, November 7, Rocío Marengo was among the guests on PH, Podemos hablar, Telefe’s program where various personalities share personal experiences and reflect on significant moments in their lives. During the show, the former vedette spoke about her struggles with self-esteem and recalled how she lived for years with her relationship to body image.
In that context, Marengo explained that throughout her career in the media, sHe felt that her personality carried more weight than her physical appearance. “I believe I worked more with my personality and my way of being than with my image. Many may say it was about the image, but I never truly liked myself,” she stated.
Then she went deeper into that period and revealed the thoughts that accompanied her for a long time: “Always embarrassed me, I always had a hard time, I always felt the ugliest.”

However, with the passing of years, she managed to review that experience from a different perspective. At 46, she acknowledged how heavy that look at herself weighed on her and lamented the suffering she went through: “And today, now that I’m grown, I look back and say What a pity! Because the truth is I suffered a lot,” she reflected.
The presenter also shared that one of her biggest difficulties was not being able to feel comfortable with her own image. “The truth is that it cost me many times to work in the media because I didn’t like myself… Life, you get older, you realize life goes in another direction,” she explained.
Toward the end of her testimony, Marengo shared the view she has today of herself and her present. “If today I’m a bit chubbier or a bit older… It doesn’t matter, I’m happy. I feel like this is my best moment. I look back and feel pride. I look forward and say, ‘Beautiful things are coming my way’,” she expressed.
In this way, the former vedette left a message about the path she took to build a kinder relationship with herself and to enjoy this stage of her life.
