When I was a kid, I thought my body was perfect: my arms were strong enough for the monkey bars and my legs were perfect for spinning again and again. But in 10 years, a member of my family (which shall remain nameless) called me the "chubby". Seeing me through the eyes of others, I began to worry about the size of my jeans and what I ate.
Then I turned 17. My friends and I went to a friend's cottage to celebrate getting our diplomas. On my way to the beach in my new colorful bikini, my boyfriend came over and whispered to me: "You're fed."
When I look at the photos of this trip, I am shocked because I'm beautiful in this swimsuit, as a 17 year old girl healthy. But then, it has destroyed me and my appetite and increasing fears of overweight turned into an eating disorder. I counted calories obsessively and I surentraînais daily.
I am eternally grateful to concerned friend who advised me to consult a nutritionist. This gave me some advice that I still follow: "Trust your body. If you only eat when you are hungry and you stop when you are satisfied, you will never have a weight problem. "
I tried it and I realized she was right. It made such a difference to me that I wanted to help others. I took a degree in dietetics and I became personal physician and adviser. I teach other women how to listen to their bodies and trust him for over 20 years now.
