Since I can remember I've always been the chubby of the classroom, of the family etc... I struggled with nasty commentaries from everyone around me, When my friends were having cookies or a slice of pizza Id have a glass of water because I didn't wanted to look like I didn't care about my weight, that I could shove the whole pizza by myself, I was 6 years old with those thoughts, I didn't not wanted to be the fat one but I was I was the fat girl in a fat-phobic culture. I have always enjoyed physical activities, I was a happy girl, jumping, running and playing all the games, I loved to dance and when they opened a Zumba course in my school I wanted to join it, to dance along my friends, the teacher told me there was no spot for me cause it was a very demanding class, and I would make everyones else go slow, I wouldn't perform just right because of my weight. I was 10 years old, I could have told my mom, but I didn't wanted to bother her or to disappoint her, in the end, it was my fault, it was my fault to be fat. I would hate to go to doctors because anything would have been concerning my weight, I would have obesity, and I would be constantly scared of being morbidly obese. my life went by, jumping from diet to diet, not understanding why if I was so active I was so fat, I hate my body my entire life, always in the shadows. Of course taking bad decisions, decisions that would aggravate my symptoms but at this point I knew what the doctor would say " lose weight, have a healthy diet" whatever that means. Fast forward, a miscarriage, 11 months without a period, hair where there is no supposed tone hair, acne and stubborn weight. Today I feel grateful, blessed, for finding this program, because it wasn't easy, my first language isn't English, so listening to podcasts to improve my English, always in love with holistic approach, wellness, mental health, I was in the right time, the right place, when I first heard of Alisa Vitti and her phenomenal book I HAD TO TRY IT. And then for my surprise I found that there is a course, a program! a program that check all the boxes of the life I've always dream of, a confirmation that shows me that I don't have to be ridden to medicines and drugs for the rest of my life, I don't have a death sentence, and I don't have to live in pain. Today I feel hopeful and happy and so blessed, I trust in the process and I know that even though is not easy ( because is learning to break a lifetime of bad habits) is worthy. Im worthy of a beautiful, healthy life. Love, June Funes
