MY BODY & ITS JOURNEY
I am not the physical stereotype of the sports coach: I have shapes and curves (it serves to warm the heart…). Even if I accept these kilos today and am at peace with my body and with its history, we have come a long way.
I am indeed a former obese and have been since my childhood. Dietician, appetite suppressants, eating disorder therapy, psychiatrist, I have tried everything since the age of 10. Unfortunately this toxic relationship, fuelled by many frustrations, was never really dealt with. We wanted to eliminate the kilos but not the “why” of the kilos…
In 2006, a diagnosis of morbid obesity was made and to stop this downward spiral, I underwent a gastric bypass surgery.
I lost 70kg, which is half of my weight. It was a radical change in my life, in my daily life, in my diet. But it was above all a change in my relationship to my body and my future.
New practices have been put in place to seek the true balance that my body and my head needed. To improve my posture, build deep muscles, tone my skin (thus avoiding plastic surgery) and anchor healthy habits, I then turned to Pilates. What an encounter... movement, mindful breathing, strength, elasticity in the training of my fascias... In short, it was everything I needed to reform myself, release my energy in a healthy way, anchor myself and connect body and mind.
From a regular practice, it has become a daily need, especially when pregnant or in my various expatriations: THE key to my bubble, my well-being and my personal balance. I learned to work as a team with this body, to love it, to accept it and to take care of it. I am so grateful for this life path, this journey. So proud to show my children the anchor of balance.
