“I am grateful beyond words for the life this has given me”

To be honest, the 90-day Wildfit Challenge sounded really good, but unbelievable. Forever change? yeah right!  I joined Wildfit after hearing about the 94% completion of the 90-day program with full compliance and engagement which permeated ongoing after the challenge, and I thought I would probably be in the 6%, but it was worth a shot.  That's how little I believed in my ability to stick to such a program and achieve results long term.  I certainly was not full of faith and enthusiastic about starting the program. 
But within a few days, I was hooked, completely engaged and hopeful, willing to try and learning so much.  I started at 136 kg, but weight loss was not my primary concern - I just wanted to feel healthier and more energy - I wanted life to be easier, and change just seemed so hard.   I loved the staging process, one week at a time.  I couldn't believe the changes I was undertaking each week, and that I was so willing to undertake them - who is this person?  It was definitely a journey and an adjustment, but the program was really easy to follow, really easy to implement, and I was 100% compliant the whole 90 days.  I became a raving fan.  
One of the biggest gifts was really getting that it is not my fault - I had no choice to be the way I had become - it was not a fault in myself or a will-power issue. All these judgments melted and freedom and empowerment have taken their place.  
I now have absolute clarity about food and my relationship to my food, nutrition, and body. I now fiercely defend my new freedom. I love that this program is about education and behavior change at the conscious and unconscious level, and understanding and becoming friends with your body and inner self. 
I love that this program is based on food, real food, not a product range or supplement. I feel like I've been given the key to escape my cage and implemented the tools to live life to the fullest outside of the institution of the cage, and without playing the substitute game (without swapping this food for that). 
I am no longer a coffee drinker and used to be 2-4 cups a day - actually, I no longer have any caffeine at all, and I used to call coffee my currency.  There are now many things I used to not be able to pass up, that I simply will not partake in anymore.  
Nothing tastes as good a feeling healthy feels.  I used to hear this phrase and thought it was a motivational pump up, to give you will-power, but it is now absolutely true and matter-of-fact. I will not sacrifice my well being again.  This is an enormous change in self-respect and esteem.  I was always the convenience girl that felt inadequate in the kitchen - now I rock in the kitchen because I am no longer comparing myself to the cooking of others because their cooking is likely to be substandard and full of non-functional ingredients.  I love putting the time to take care of myself and prepare. I would not have believed this.
I 'wake' up in the morning - beforehand, I might has forced myself out of bed, but I was not awake, and it would take a lot of effort to get awake.  Now I wake up and am awake and can get up and start my day rather than really struggling with my morning. I so value that change, and it came about before I quit the caffeine.  Since quitting caffeine my sleep is deeper and my awake is more alert. This is major for me, and it keeps getting better.  I have consistent energy and alertness all day every day.  I can stay switched on and not want to hide at the end of the day or when life is overwhelming.  
Regarding weight loss, I have released over 10 kg, although it feels like more, and I have every confidence my body will release consistently when it is ready to until I am my ideal weight.  The biggest surprise about the weight change (and I have never felt this in any other program) was that I felt like the fat was being released from around my internal organs.
I was not on medication beforehand, but my life was definitely impacted by health, weight and often had palpitations.  I have dramatically reduced the frequency and severity of palpitations.  I am fitter and stronger without doing exercise.  Everything moves easier, is more life and has more energy, and peace and healing. 
I had no idea I was so far away from health, my whole 45 years.  I thank Eric for truly understanding where we are coming from and loving us so profoundly.   I am so amazed by this program and my results, and I have had the courage from this to tackle other aspects of my life I thought were just as overwhelming and unmovable. 
I am grateful beyond words for the life this has given me.
