Story

The reason for these words is to tell you about my experience about the great challenge that being able to lose weight, body fat and muscle mass represented for me, which are reflected in the attitude and self-esteem that, thanks to that, I now have.

Since I was a child I have suffered from being overweight and I always believed that it was due to genetics and heredity.

Over time, I got used to that idea to the point of accepting that it would be like this for the rest of my life and I never really fought to change that. As time went by I saw that my weight was increasing every day and my self-esteem, on the other hand, was dropping more and more because I saw my classmates at school thin, wearing their pretty, fashionable clothes and I didn’t feel appropriate to buy them because I thought they didn’t look good on me.

My depressions were many, and to calm them I ate even more, of course, therefore, I had serious problems with cholesterol, triglycerides and until recently with my spine, which were caused by the obesity I had. I even suffered from an injury to a vertebra, which caused me unbearable pain.

I remember that I started diets and when I didn’t see quick results, I abandoned them, and as expected, the rebound was greater.

Within my family our diet was always rich in carbohydrates and saturated fats; a lifestyle that lasted for years and that affected us all, to such a degree that my parents are hypertensive and suffer from poor blood circulation due to the fat they have consumed for so many years.

That, together with the lifestyle I lead, was the trigger for my overweight to become something normal for me.

Honestly, I didn’t use to focus that much on losing weight; It could be said that after so many attempts, I had practically resigned myself to the fact that my life would be like this and there was no possibility of a change.

This thought continued until, fortunately, God gave me the wonderful opportunity to be a mother and gave me a daughter whom I love and adore. It is because of her that I finally decided and I am in this great challenge of the Cambridge System that has totally changed my life.

I have lost many kilos and my self-esteem has increased impressively.

My health has improved greatly; My cholesterol and triglyceride levels are at their level and my spinal pain has decreased.

My social relationships have also had a positive change: friends, family and close people are amazed to see me now. They ask me “But how did you do it?”, and exclaim “You look so good!

That and other things are what motivate me to move forward with my new lifestyle.

Like any process that requires discipline and perseverance, I must confess that it was not easy for me at all, but I can also assure that everything has definitely been worth it.

This great change has divided my life into 2 parts, before and after Cambridge.

I will always be very grateful for having had the opportunity to change my life and be a person who looks good, but above all, feels good.
