In the beginning, I just wanted to lose the extra weight. It had never crossed my mind that I would fall hopelessly in love with the process and all this fitness lifestyle madness.
After a lot of trial and error, I told myself it was time to ask for help as what I was doing was not working anymore. Long story short, that is how I managed to pay someone to endanger my health. I reached out to what I thought was a professional but turned out to be a quack nutritionist – a similar business model to Slimming World and Weight Watchers. After new health issues that appeared under their supervision, I decided that “Enough is enough, I am going to become my own health expert!”. From that moment I developed a boundless thirst for correct knowledge.
“Permanent results only come from permanent changes in diet and lifestyle. We cannot be permanently healthy if we do not permanently change our habits” said Dr Joel Fuhram and when I finally understood that, I changed my habits and made sure they were the right ones. With half the effort we get half the results and no, there is no shortcut when it comes to weight loss.
The principle that guides me now is: when your health is the number 1 priority, your body will transform for the better.
I was raised in an environment that rejected any sports and physical activity and since childhood, I had painful rheumatoid arthritis in all my joints and I have recently been diagnosed with fibromyalgia (a condition that causes widespread pain and extreme tiredness) and degenerative disc disease. I also struggled with a binge eating disorder.
So if I did it, YOU CAN DO IT TOO! Let me guide and motivate you, send me an e-mail now at pt@adaflorea.com and let’s change your life too.
I wish you good health ❤️
