Story

My name is Erika Cervantes Jiménez, I am 31 years old and I am from the city of Celaya, Guanajuato (Mexico). For me, talking about the issue of being thin or losing weight was never easy but it was always something that was present in my life. I have always struggled with my own weight since I was in primary school and throughout my life I have followed all kinds of diets to try to reach a weight at which I felt comfortable with myself and looked the way I have always wanted to be.

At the beginning I took everyday measures such as going to a nutritionist to help me lose weight, but I became desperate in the process since I did not notice the changes as quickly as I expected, so I began to take other somewhat crazy measures, I did all kinds of fad diets, no matter how radical or extreme they could be or the impact they could have on my health and even though with some I started to lose weight, I gained it back in a short time and in some cases It even increased more than it had lost. Such was my desperation that I had eating problems and for a while, without anyone knowing it, I became bulimic. This led me to a state of depression so great that I gained weight, reaching 80kg and a size 13. At this moment was when I realized that I had to stop because I was doing everything wrong and I had to change my habits and my behavior.

I started by reading nutrition books and soon I met Patricia Aranda Larrauri who is not only my current consultant but a great friend; When I started the Cambridge diet I did it with the Soul Source Plus program, I was totally convinced of the benefits that this would bring me, which is why I had every conviction to complete the entire program, but I cannot deny that at the beginning eating as a family was somewhat difficult since I felt angry that I had to make these “sacrifices” and while they were so carelessly eating not so healthy foods, but because I always had the support and encouragement of Paty I managed not to fall to temptations, in addition to First week I began to notice the great changes and benefits of wearing Cambridge, today I weigh 60kg and feel better than ever.

Now I love shopping! I never thought I would be able to enjoy buying an entire wardrobe and my mood is totally different. Before, I used to look for any excuse to avoid going out with my friends because of everything it entailed, but now I’m the one looking for excuses to go out and enjoy a night with them. My self-esteem increased a lot, I feel happier and more confident in myself and everyone notices it, and my habits completely changed, I have learned to eat correctly and I would never put my health at risk again to lose weight.

My family and friends see me with admiration for what I have achieved and every time I go out, everyone asks me what I did, how I achieved the change and there are those who do not even recognize me from the transformation I had, both physically and emotionally; I feel like I’m a totally new person. Cambridge has been an amazing experience! and the truth is that whenever I have the opportunity I recommend it because of how safe and easy it is to use, in addition to its long-term effectiveness and results from the first week.

So all I have to say is Thank you Cambridge!
