With buckling knees, I stand on the scale. The past two weeks flash through my mind. The vacation to Lefkas where I enjoyed local delicacies. The dinners I had, birthdays and lunches with girlfriends. The NewFysic recipes I made; panna cotta, slim apple fritters, pizza....
I already want to apologize to Ineke, my coach, and mumble something like, "better next time." She looks at me and says, "Boy, what are you worrying about again. I just lost another 1.4 kilos". That brings the counter to minus 25.5 kilos! I can hardly believe it. Together we do a little dance of joy. Long live losing weight. Long live NewFysic. And long live the new happy me!
What came before
As much as I want to, I cannot find the infamous button. Being overweight is a part of me, something I accept. The result of a lifestyle that is hard to give up. A heavy burden I have to carry, literally and figuratively. My fate? Until NewFysic comes my way by chance. On April 1, I step into the branch on the Ginnekenweg in Breda and that is the beginning of my new life. My coach Ineke immediately believed in me. And that's exactly what I need because I hadn't had that myself for a long time. She teaches me to step out of old patterns and to teach myself new, better ones. And I take those with me for the rest of my life.
Freedom
I faithfully follow the nutritional advice and soon notice that the pounds fly off. After two months I am 10 kilos lighter and receive the first compliments from those around me. Since I started following the program, I have been enjoying dinners and vacations. Of weekends away. I make the right choice at every opportunity: myself. I now know that I find the best dishes at appetizers. That I don't miss the fries and the basket of bread. That 1 wine is as good as 3 and that conviviality does not depend on what and how much I eat or drink. That I don't miss the stuffed feeling I often had. That you can cook well without full-fat cream and cheese. The additional naturally based supplements keep me feeling powerful. Cheat every now and then? With No Regret* you can do so carefree. The nutritious meals and daily snacks keep me barely hungry. But the best part of the program is the freedom. I eat what I feel like that day and don't count calories or points. The grocery booklet is my guide. NewFysic is not a diet; it is my guide to a healthier life.
Reach your goal
I sometimes get asked if NewFysic is expensive. Lately it has been. I shop for clothes in size 42 and it's fantastic! Shopping, I never liked it. Nice clothes were not comfortable, did not suit me and fitting them was a confrontational activity I preferred to avoid. But now? Buying a whole new wardrobe has become my hobby! Finally I look the way I always felt: a modern smooth woman. Fitter, slimmer and happier. Younger, too. I am participating again, no longer hiding and feeling like it! That's priceless. Another 4.5 kilos and I will have reached my goal. How quickly it has gone. What an interesting journey it has been. Yes, I sometimes balked when I had to say "no" to all the temptations that came along. But I knew what I was doing it for and it was all worth it. I amazed everyone, and especially myself. I can just do this. In fact, you can too!
*No Regret: The unique composition of these supplements ensures that, in situations where there is no opportunity to eat or drink according to the personal nutrition plan, you will not gain weight.
