"Now at the end of 3 months (90 days) I can truly say I have total Food Freedom"

I'm 51yrs old and have struggled with food basically my entire life. From the start food was always how I was taught to celebrate and how to grieve depending on the situation. 
Coming from a toxic and abusive family I also learned at an early age that food could provide comfort or what I thought was comfort. Unfortunately, that over eating and unhealthy habits became a life long habit that turned into physical ailments, life long depression, lack of self-worth, and self-loathing. I had no control over the food no matter how many times I tried and what I tried. Yes, there were moments of "success" but it was all built on self-control that was very hard, crazy diets that could not be sustainable through life and always resulting in more weight gain within months of the diet ending and more physical pain and depression. 

But life started to shift now at 51yrs old and I took back control of my life. I cut out the toxic family, I started making real change and responsibility for my life and what needed fixing. Part of that was my health, weight, and relationship with food. Enter WildFit 90-Day Challenge, and wow did my life change. 

I just finished the challenge and within those 90 days I have truly found Food Freedom. I have so many none scale victories but I will start with the scale. I released 31 pounds, 21 inches, and down 3 dress sizes. 
I started with wanting to lose at least 100-125lbs and now I know I will release weight until I feel comfortable, not some magical random number, just feeling amazing in my body. Here are the none scale victories: inflammation that made me stiff and achy, migraines and general headaches, bad sleep, leg cramps that would literally be so painful they would keep me up all night (would use medications, CBD lotion, and compression leggings), KT Tape (sports tape) for my bad knee, sciatica (bend over the wrong way), unable to take stairs without getting winded, hard time getting up from the floor, acne and dull skin, supplements for perimenopause, daily allergy pills, daily Aleve for general aches and pains, dry eyes, dry skin, gas and bloating... Seriously, the list could probably keep going on. 

By the time I was a solid month into this challenge most of these issues started to go away and by the time I hit the 2 month mark all of the above issues were totally gone and I was feeling amazing. Now at the end of 3 months (90 days) I can truly say I have total Food Freedom. I no longer "Live to Eat" but rather "Eat to Live" and I only eat functional foods that include vegetables, fruits, and high quality animal proteins. 

I still have more to my journey with releasing weight but I no longer worry about food, I am not depressed when I look in the mirror. I love what I see and know that I have done and continue to do so much healing for the decades of abuse I put my body through. 
Before WildFit I could live on potato chips, pizza, baked goods and some fruits and vegetables. Today, knowing what those foods do, how I feel when I eat them, and how they are produced allows me to happily eat just the vegetables, fruits, and high quality proteins. 

What you learn about the WHY you eat how you eat will transform your views and bring such clarity to your life both past and present. WildFit is a true game changer if you are REALLY ready to make life changes. It was not always easy but it got easier and so worth it in the end.
