It seems like a joke but it\u2019s not! Check out Claudia Brito\u2019s story: <\/p>\n
\n“During my teen years I never had a problem with obesity, but everything changed when at seventeen I got married. Everything just happened very fast…
\nA year after I got married, I got pregnant with my first child and soon after with my second. <\/p>\n
I was never worried about what I could or could not eat. I always liked to eat everything. <\/p>\n
Time passed and when I was twenty-seven years old something happened that shocked me: I went into a clothing store excited to try on a pair of pants I saw, but the sales person gently told me that they didn\u2019t have my size and it would be better for me to go to the plus size store. <\/p>\n
My husband was waiting outside the store for me and noticed that something had happened. My facial expression gave me away. I left that store very angry. My immediate reaction was to say to my husband: “Love, I’m going to go on a diet because I’m fat!” My husband just laughed. When he laughed, his laughter served as an incentive, and I made \u200b\u200ba decision “all or nothing”. I was determined. <\/p>\n
I started reading health magazines. I realized I had to do something radical, something against my will. <\/p>\n
I looked to see what was unhealthy for me and I made \u200b\u200bmy list: I wrote down five things that I liked to eat and decided not to eat them until I saw good results. <\/p>\n
Are curious to know what they were? Ok, here are the five things I eliminated from my diet: <\/p>\n
– White rice
\n– White Bread
\n– Sugar
\n– Soft drinks in general
\n– Red Meat <\/p>\n
At the time I was really radical, however today I sometimes eat red meat because it is important. <\/p>\n
I started my diet with lots of water and walking. I took my daughters to school in the car and would leave the car parked at school so I could walk home and back to pick them up. I took the stairs and did sit ups. I was totally focused on getting a good result. <\/p>\n
Every day I was more excited. I had more pleasure in doing housework, in taking care of my husband and my daughters. My self-esteem was high and it showed. My body was changing, I felt lighter and had better disposition for everything. <\/p>\n
After a year of renunciation, sacrifice, and determination I went from 83kg to 65kg! It\u2019s true. The desire to take care of myself grew more and I was able to realize my dream without medicine, without a doctor, only with my intelligence and determination. Why? Because today I am almost forty-eight years old and I still have this joy. I learned to educate, appreciate, and love myself. My husband admires me, and I know I have been a reference for many girls and women who want to have a lifestyle with quality. ”<\/p>\n
Girls, you see how it is possible? Today, we have dietitians (which I\u2019m in favor of), a personal trainer (exercise is great!), but what will really make you reach your goal is your inner strength, determination, focus, discipline, and denying your will. The outside will be a consequence of what is happening inside. <\/p>\n
