“My main result is knowledge. Knowing how this or that food affects our body, what is really dangerous for us to eat, and how to deal with temptations”

«Главный мой результат - это знания. Знания того, как тот или иной продукт влияет на наш организм, что нам в самом деле опасно есть и как справиться с соблазнами»

Translated from Russian by AI. Oksana wrote this story in Russian.

At the beginning, for a long time I couldn't make up my mind to take part in the quest. I'm not overweight and generally don't have any bad habits... (except laziness) Laziness is my only difficult point, the one I have to fight. Besides that, I don't overeat, and for 2 years already I had been slowly giving up meat for ethical reasons and for health reasons. I'm 52 years old. With age came problems with joint disease and digestion. On top of that I had seasonal allergies and an allergy to cats and dogs. Over two years I slowly started learning breathing exercises and meditation, and thinking about something more useful in spiritual development. So when I finally signed up for the quest, the ground of awareness was already fairly stable. And I'll be honest, it was easy and comfortable for me with Eric. I think it's worth mentioning the fact that I live in France. Everyone knows French wine, cheeses, cured meats and all sorts of other "yummy stuff". My French family are total gourmets, constant, never-ending celebrations and feasts. No reason needed, right here and right now. And the table is groaning with food and the wine flows like a river. And me, meanwhile, I'm in the quest... My quest started in October and ended on December 31. All this is food for thought for the reader, and about the fact that it was easy for me to follow all the recommendations and changes in my eating. Thanks to what Eric was telling us and how he did it, everything went wonderfully, with faith in a good result. Everything I heard from him went into my consciousness and was used to the max. Sometimes I didn't manage to listen to the course on the day itself. I had to catch up with two, three lessons a day. But all it took was opening the quest and hearing Eric's humorous reaction to this or that topic, it transformed me and there wasn't a trace left of my laziness. I'll add that I kept a notebook with notes for every day. Accordingly, that's why each lecture and the answers to the questions took me not 15-20 min, but an hour and even two hours. That's exactly why my knowledge was absorbed so clearly. I feel like a member of a huge WildFit team and I think, I'm sure that in the future my example will give someone the desire to go through the same forced march with Eric. So what did I free myself from or heal from? Right at the start, literally after 3-4 weeks my joints stopped hurting, my whole digestive process went back to normal. That was huge motivation to keep going. My gastroenterologist doctor even took me off her patient register. For 3 years already, I had been seeing her 2 times a year, without results. I didn't even go to the rheumatologist anymore. And so I traded those years for 3 months with Eric and my body started readjusting on its own. I started waking up easily. Before, that process was awful. Waking up tired is beyond any nightmare. My energy during the day went up too. The desire to do things and not stumble through the day took hold of me too. Were there slip-ups? Yes, two or even three times I ate cookies and sweet rusks with coffee (that was after 2 months of the quest) Cookies with tea or coffee turned out to be my stumbling block. Even though I never had overeating. And Catholic Christmas and New Year also had deviations from the quest. But I came back very easily and I keep following WildFit! All the same I lost 3 kg and my measurements also went down by 4-5 cm. But my main result from this quest is knowledge. Knowing how this or that food affects our body, what is really dangerous for us to eat, and how to deal with temptations. Now I'm waiting for my results to continue. Namely, a complete detox cleansing of the body, in spring I'll see how my body reacts to spruce pollen, and I'll also see whether my allergy to animals, herpes and migraines have gone. All this is at the stage of observation and self-healing. So my life is now full of new ideas and plans. Confidence in myself and in tomorrow. Further self-development and self-control and of course taking part in other Mindvalley programs. A huge thank you and all the best to Eric and the whole WildFit team. With respect, Zharskaya Oksana
