"It has been life changing"

I’ve had always struggled with weight since I was a little girl, and all the emotional roller coasters that came with it, being bullied and outcasted by my friends and even my family. Things never were easy in my household, you can’t measure suffering but for me it was uncommon, how can anyone have so much things thrown at you, was life always like this? Will it be always like this? Depression became a protagonist in my life, and started to affect my relationship with food, with my body and everyone around me. All the pressure took me to a gain weight path that turned out uncontrollable, according to my psychologist fat was created by my body in order to protect me, so I kept blaming it, a couple of years later I lose some weight and said:”ok this is my moment to be like every other young adult, have the body and attention I want, I’m 20 now”, so I went under surgery: breast reduction (which I needed it for my spine) and liposuction (which I didn’t and was entirely out of vanity), turns out my body wasn’t at it’s peek and the liposuction ended up been a nightmare for a couple of weeks since I didn’t have the strength to recover and had to go multiple times to the clinic from my losing blood and fainting. I turned out to have the figure I wanted for a year or so, then came a very heartbreaking time for my family, the entire dynamic changed, and I had to start providing for my family’s wellbeing, so another fase of depression settled in, and the gain weighting started again. When I was 27 my health started to crumbled I tried with different diets, weight loss retreats and even injections, they worked at first, later all the weight came back, even though the majority of my eating choices were improved, nothing happened; all of a sudden I was having chronic migraine, seizures, faints, chronic pain, tachycardia and so on; they did all the tests possible, all came out normal; I new deep inside I wasn’t okay. I thought to myself :”I might not make it to my 30s” and it was such a sad thought, it was so powerful that I even got 3 different life insurances in my country in case I would die and leave my sister and mother with some money they could survive when I was gone. 

One day Wildfit appeared on my YouTube list of suggestions, and I discarded a lot of times. Once I watched the video I was intrigued, I wanted to do it, when I saw how much it cost I discarded it immediately, you see I am Colombian, I live in this beautiful country, but our RMR for one dollar it’s four times a peso, so it was a big investment. I talked about it to my mom, and finally decided to make the effort and buy it, even bought the year subscription to Mindvalley. And it has being life changing, I might haven’t reach my desire weight but I feel so strong, so beautiful, so healthy, all those pains went away, I’m able to do so many things now! I don’t think about me dying young and I love myself so much more!! I’ve always being a bit rebellious so everything was a challenge, even at the end of this quest that I value so much, Eric said:”I dare you try and come back to your old self and old habits” and I said ok we’ll see, so my devil (obviously) was thrilled; I ordered a 10 piece sushi for lunch, let me tell you it was the worst experience of my life!! I never thought I would feel like I did, I would never thought I would cry for putting my body through that again, I can’t even start to described how I felt, it was like I was living in another person’s body, the aching the reactions were overwhelming!! It was the last experience I needed to finally open my eyes, love my body and swear to it I wouldn’t do anything more to hurt it ever again!! For all of you out there who are thinking of going through this journey, let me tell you: It is difficult, It is challenging and scary sometimes, but it gives you such a deep understanding of who you are, as a person, as a citizen in this world, your contributions and sins, and above all it helps you heal your mind, body and soul. So Welcome to the Wildfit Quest, I assure you you won’t regret it!!
