"This adventure wasn't just about diet, it was also human"

Cette aventure n’était pas seulement diététique mais également humaine

Translated from French by AI. Myriane wrote this story in French.

At the start of 2021, I was ready to make every effort to correct my eating! Admittedly, many changes had been made over the years, but without lasting results on my weight; the kilos were impossible to shift and the questions constant. I was in a vicious spiral with a feeling of deprivation in that area, I no longer touched my almost-new clothes, frustrations and complexes were ruining my life! I couldn't wait to start the challenge aimed at taking back my share of responsibility for my condition, and the photos of Vishen Lakhiani's transformation gave me hope. Right away I appreciated the good mood Eric spread in his videos and I embraced the patience needed to integrate each stage. Very quickly, I understood the paramount importance of properly analysing the emotions nestled in those little daily snacks meant to calm my stress, those carbohydrates that turn into fat and stay with you after fifty! I unsparingly went through every period of weight gain, linking each to its main cause, telling myself "never again" and taking the time to really observe the bad patterns of the past… New habits were taking shape, with the Challenge helping to sharpen my critical thinking towards my environment, both personal and that of food advertising and its manipulations, but this last point wasn't the one directly responsible for my excess weight. I regained confidence day after day, which strengthened my personal commitment because I saw my body changing as I gave it what it needed to function well, now prioritising myself through informed choices. I was finally working on consistency in that area of my life, breaking my goal down into several stages and cultivating an enthusiastic vibration, supported by an empathetic group on Facebook and our coaches, Elsa and Estella. No book could have given me this result; the connection maintained with other people with similar problems was an essential factor, this adventure wasn't just about diet, it was also human. I managed to take on all the principles of health related to food, with a first weight loss of 14 kg (out of 24kg), allowing me to enjoy dressing again. The conclusion of the challenge, leading to the invitation to a personalised way of eating, chosen completely independently based on the stages tested over 90 days, is exactly what suits me. I now know how to stand very firm in the face of social pressures and to show kindness towards myself in order to honour what has become my way of life. My journey continues, with awareness and gratitude.
