"I have never felt so good in my own body"

New Year’s Eve week, I am in the French Alps with a bunch of friends and we go skying. I love skying! I am the type that start in the morning and keep going up and down with no rest, having fun, feeling the speed and the pleasure of sliding down on the snowy slopes listening the noise of the snow under my skis smelling the cold pure air and enjoying nature.... and partying after... This year I could hardly close my ski pants... I felt awkward in my heavy body, big, lacking of energy and not in full control of my body. I was back on the skies for the first time after 4 years and 4 operations on my broken right collar bone. I came home and promised my body I would mind it. I knew if I start running, and mind my calories I easily loose 5 kg but I lost my appetite for running (I am a marathon runner though) then, I knew I put them back. 
This time I needed something else, something deep, something to make me change... I started minding my food, lost 2 kg on my own, in 2 weeks but felt low... empty... lonely... 

And I watched a video on Instagram with Eric and Vishen... I received the offer... and I thought I would treat myself. It was an investment but I was worth it! I loved the psychology, the process, the journaling, the deep thinking behind the whole process. I learned so much! I experienced a lot, I found it fun, discovering new ways to eat, to breathe, to water my body, drowning myself into liters of water and herbal tea (my best friend is now my 0,7 liter cup that I am so fond of!), I really liked the alkagizer mix trying new combinations of herbs and spices... I learnt soooo much from Erics video! I thought he was crazy when at one stage we stopped having some type of food that for me were absolutely necessary, but I decided to trust the process... and I did... and I felt the changes. My skin is clear and soft, no more spots, no more rash. My face changed, got thinner. I turned 49 last week and I had a locked down video party with people from all around the world... I got told I was glowing, I felt glowing! My bodyshape is different. I only lost 6 kg after the 2 I had already lost in January. But I have never felt so good in my own body. I love my body the way it is now. It is not perfect but it is exactly how I like it! I have taken on yoga every morning and no other sport (I did not feel at all like running), and now as lock down is smoothing down I might enjoy a weekly run or two, or four ... again ! I feel light and ready for new challenges. I feel young and full of energy. I feel attractive and really strong. I feel calm and happy! Thank you Eric and the team of coaches who are amazing, thank you to the community that is so inspiring and vulnerable and trustful. You can show how you are, you get support and advice and love! This is amazing! The Facebook group is so positive that you feel very secure in it! This was beautiful! 

So thank you! I have not finished the challenge, I am just starting a new life!
