Being vegetarian was a given to eat more veggies and eating healthier alternatives to meat. And my weight use to behave.

But in the last 2 years, I have had 2 major spine surgeries, all the stress that has caused on my body, the constant pain medication, anesthetic and not being able to be as active, really took a toll on my body and system. I finally got to a stage where I was so unhappy in my own skin, not being able to fit into my clothes, you tend to just ignore your appearance because you do not like what you see when you look at yourself.

This was when I found Vimi at EazySlim. I enquired and went for an assessment and was shocked that my weight had climbed to 83,5kg. The heaviest I have ever been. That is when I made the final decision, it is now or never. I have been going for treatment and been following the diet since the end of Sept. I am currently in my first month of maintenance phase and my body has just been loving the changes and maintaining.

To date I have lost 9,3kg. I still have about another 10kg to go to reach my goal weight but I am certain I will get there in no time. The treatments have not just aided in my weightloss but also started easing the severe nerve pain I suffer with as a result of the spine surgeries. Following the diet and cutting out certain foods has not been easy at all. Especially when the people around you, your work colleagues, your family, friends, are all eating your “once” favourites, like those toasted sandwiches, pizza’s, cakes and sweet things, even just the sound of a coke can being opened. The longer you stick to your diet, the easier it gets to shut all those things out.

My sugar craving has just about disappeared, and if I do have a little craving, I snack on an apple instead. Going from eating what was convenient and quick and maybe 2 meals a day, to preparing my meals for the day and eating at least 6 times a day. I am eating better, more constant and everything of the right foods and the right quantities. Not only have I seen my weight drop and felt the difference in the clothes I wear, my skin has cleared up with no breakouts, my nerve pain has eased significantly and I do not suffer with inflammation pain in my nerves and joints, I am sleeping better and not waking up tired, I have continuous energy throughout the day.

This whole experience has been life changing in so many ways. I am so grateful I found Vimi and her team when I did. You feel like part of the family when you go there and they really make you feel welcome. You constantly have support and guidance and motivation. This lifestyle change has not been easy, get your good days and your bad days, but it has been the best decision I have made in a very long time. It is worth it. I am worth it and owe it to myself.
