"Your body is perfect, learn to listen to it"
Tu cuerpo es perfecto, aprende a escucharlo
I realized I was in a downward spiral when it came to my health, caused by my eating habits, my rebelliousness against any nutritional advice and my attachment to food. I knew it was important to do something soon, otherwise I would reach the point of "no return". At first I wasn't looking to lose weight, I was looking to learn to eat intelligently. I made a list of more than 30 achievements and it keeps growing as the days go by since graduation. The most valuable lessons are the 5 pillars they teach us in the challenge. The deepest change in my way of thinking, has been regarding my relationship with food. The most exciting thing has been reconnecting with my true self by getting all those kilos off me; being free and in charge of my food decisions. Now I know perfectly what, when and how much to eat.
Me di cuenta que estaba en una espiral descendente en cuanto a mi salud, originada por mis hábitos alimenticios, mi rebeldía a cualquier recomendación nutricional y el apego a la comida. Sabía que era importante hacer algo pronto, de lo contrario llegaría al punto de "no retorno". Inicialmente no buscaba bajar de peso, buscaba aprender a comer inteligentemente. Hice una lista de más de 30 logros y sigue creciendo conforme pasan los días de la graduación. Las lecciones más valiosas son los 5 pilares que nos enseñan en el desafío. El cambio más profundo en mi forma de pensar, ha sido respecto a mi relación con la comida. Lo más emocionante ha sido reencontrarme con mi verdadero ser al quitarme de encima todos esos kilos; ser libre y dueña de mis decisiones alimenticias. Ahora sé perfecto qué, cuándo y cuánto comer.
