Carolina

My name is Carolina and I would like to share my story with the Cambridge weight regime with you.

How and why did I gain weight? I had been an overweight person my entire life. My maximum weight was 100 kilos at the age of 22 and I felt self-conscious about always being the fattest and most obese of my friends.

I didn’t like shopping because there was nothing in my size; In fact, I avoided going into stores since on many occasions I accompanied my mother and only waited for her outside.

I always said, “why do all pretty clothes come in average sizes?” I struggled for many years with being overweight: I tried pills, different regimens, in which I lost weight and after a few months I gained weight again.

One of the main reasons that made me lose weight was my health, since although I still do not suffer from chronic diseases, while I was overweight my legs hurt a lot, to the point of having to take injections for the pain.

If I went to a party and wore sneakers I couldn’t tolerate them because my weight couldn’t support the heel and one time I had to take them off in the shopping mall because I couldn’t support them. I had to walk barefoot, and I had to endure the pain.

Now that I have lost weight I can do many things that I didn’t do before: I am fascinated by exercise, and I included it in my life, I would say; It relaxes me and I enjoy it a lot.

I do two hours a day of cardio and equipment.

I also practice pole dancing, which has given me a lot of strength throughout my body and I feel sexy when I do it. I can now walk in shoes without getting tired, I even run in them.

Furthermore, I can sit in any chair, not worry about the maximum weight allowed, nor worry about what is the largest size there is since I went down to a size 32 from 38.

It is wonderful to see all the clothes you have left in the store, that you choose without having a problem, that your size does not exist, even lowering your shoe size from 6 to 5 or 5 and a half.

How do my family and friends react to my weight loss? It was fabulous on my mother’s part, since she has experienced my obesity from very close quarters, supporting me and trying all kinds of treatments.

He always told me: “I know that you suffer a lot from your obesity, but believe me, I suffer more from seeing you suffer.”

He supported me and motivated me.

In this last attempt with the Cambridge Weight Plan I thought: “Another regime to try, will it be the right one?” I was excited, but at the same time a lot of uncertainty and fear.

They told me I had to go into ketosis, eat so few calories, and I thought I’d try it.

To be honest, I was quite discouraged but in the first 13 days I lost 4 kilos and it was my motivation to continue, because every day I lost more and as of today I have been there for two months and 10 days and I managed to lose 22 kilos.

From 89 kilos to 67 kilos is another achievement in my life.

My friends tell me that I look very thin, that I should not lose weight because I will disappear. Others congratulate me and tell me that I look very good. I feel happy, free of complexes and motivated to achieve all my goals, because I know I can achieve them.

It is another stage in my life because being thin changes everything; It turns your life around, people accept you, admire you, they compliment you, you manage to have lovers, and when you ask for a job your image favors you, everything shines.

And the fat woman inside me died, I finished with her, now I am a full and wonderfully thin woman.

Thank you Cambridge Weight Plan, it is a fabulous regimen in helping fight obesity and weight loss.
