In her own words, she no longer needs to be eighteen. But being comfortable in her skin and participating in fun things, she did feel like that again.
'I felt, of course, that I had gained weight over the years. I'm not tall, so every excess kilo shows. Besides, I go to the hairdresser regularly and there I am surrounded by mirrors. And yet that one photo of myself shocked me.
I had to change course and I had to do it right away. A friend had lost a lot of weight with NewFysic and had transformed into a vital, vibrant and beautiful woman. I wanted that transformation too. I immediately scheduled an intake.
The nutrition plan, the nutritional supplements, my own coach. It turned out to be the ideal combination for me. I don't even have to cook separately, even my children like the NewFysic recipes. Even for my Surinamese husband I still cook delicious Surinamese, but in a healthier way. More vegetables, more woks and of course brown rice. With small adjustments you achieve a big difference in calories.
The biggest mental change is that I now make informed choices. I choose very consciously and really enjoy what I eat. I never want to go back to my old weight and I'm not going to.
Twice a year I go with a friend, who is in fashion, to the clothing fair in Germany. Much to my frustration, I didn't fit any clothes from the sample collection. "Just putting on something" to help her was out of the question. Now that I can, I enjoy our trips even more. That alone has changed my life.
The other day my hairdresser said, "You look younger and you no longer pick at your clothes when you sit down," and that's true. I have nothing to hide anymore. In fact, I'm actually super proud of myself!'
