Karla

I am Karla, 39 years old, general practitioner. My story of being overweight began at the age of 6 when my dad had to change cities for work and something started in me that I had not been able to stop.

In my memory I have memories of fear of rejection and sadness when buying clothes, there was only women’s clothing in my size and for a teenager it was frustrating. I tried many ways to lose weight, always exercising, always without success.

When I was 14, my worried mother bought me some natural pills with which I did lose a little weight but also energy since they paralyzed the intestine.

From the age of 15 I took hormones for ovarian cysts and from that moment on the weight gain was faster. At 24 years old I undergo treatment with a bariatrician; I lost 15 to 18 kilos with diet and anorexigenics.

As I was finishing this weight loss process, I met the man who is now my husband and I feared rejection, especially from his family because of my overweight, since even at my weight I felt fat.

When I stopped anorexigenics I had a rebound of almost 30Kg in less than 3 years and I kept going up, up and up until I reached 100Kg. The day I reached this weight I got scared, cried and became more depressed.

In my life I have had many separations; I studied in another city far from my family, social service also outside the city and finally I married someone also from outside the city. Always looking for a culprit, an explanation for everything and watching the train of life go by without getting on it, always enjoying the triumph of others without seeking personal joy.

I learned about Cambridge products from my mother-in-law, to whom I am very grateful. She did so thinking about using the method for patients in my office, but the day I met them I was completely convinced of them.

I started treatment at the same time as some patients, however I had not shaken off the mentality of “I can’t do it.” Until one day, determined to live healthily to enjoy my parents, my husband, my daughters and myself, I committed to taking my life in my hands and convinced myself that losing weight is something that I want, that I can and that I will achieve.

I started the Cambridge program, following it as closely as possible, and began to see significant weight loss in a short time, and most importantly, feeling healthy, strong and with my hair, skin and vitality looking better every day. As of today I have a weight loss of 28kg and I am on my way to reaching the top… my ideal weight. The most important thing for this achievement was believing in myself. I thank God for all the opportunities he gives us to live, I am very grateful to my parents and brothers who have always given me their love, their support, their inspiration and have accompanied me in all the decisions of my life unconditionally, to my parents-in-law and brothers-in-law for their support in this project, to my husband for his support and love in this process and every day, thanks to my daughters for being my driving force in life. Thank you Cambridge Weight Plan for helping me make that change in my life.
