Women’s obesity, or being overweight, is a major and terribly difficult problem these days. Losing weight has become a real obsession for us, and it is not easy to find solutions that suit us. We spend our lives wondering how to lose weight, what is the best way to lose weight quickly, lose weight easily, lose weight naturally, how many calories a day we should ingest, how to find good advice to lose weight, how to cook to lose weight, where to find the best diet, the best resources to lose weight? But most of the time we fail, and one day, we simply decide not to try anything, and to accept to remain overweight or obese, we forget us, we forget our femininity.
From suffering to happiness …
Today I would like to tell you the story of a young woman. One day a lady calls me, who saw me at a conference. She tells me that she has been married for a long time to a gentleman who has an overweight niece, and that she would like to help her lose weight. She asks if she can come to me to explain. In general, I do not meet before the first session because I do not want to have to convince people to participate in the program, I want it to be their decision but this is different because she’s already convinced and it’s not about her. She is impressive, white hair, thin, peaceful, very fit, very beautiful and must be 70 years old. She tells me that her husband’s niece is someone she loves very much because she has suffered a lot and that she has young children and a very difficult life. She tells me that she wants to offer her the programme because she knows that her niece, already working cannot afford it. I am really touched by her approach. She talks to me for a long time about her niece and begs me to help her, I promise her that of course I will do my best.
Basma, this young woman was embarrassed not to pay for the sessions, and she told me each time. She had a rather impressive dignity, and did not understand why she had missed her life so much. She did not understand that it was worth her being so spoiled by her aunt. This person was deeply sad about her fate, she had a tragic childhood, and her life was very, very difficult since her marriage. But Basma has lost about 40 kilos in 10 months, and has become another woman, absolutely resplendent, and who has revealed herself to be a true poet, full of resources, talent, and I would like to submit her wonderfully beautiful testimony:
“Endless suffering, evils without remedy, timid gestures, slow, heavy with a body exhausted by time, by cares, estranged by the days, which destroyed it without mercy. One fine day, a person, a very generous being extended her hand, finally a light, a light in an obscure life; this hand appears, tender and warm to warm my heart in this darkness, there was a rebirth, a fresh air blowing on my life, a breeze of a beautiful summer morning moving and breathing what had been stifled for years. This body, this envelope that accompanies us along our journey on earth, finally breathes, I breathe … and my mind too, thank you, thank you very much to all those who helped me to be happy, to accept me as a woman who has the right to live at ease without constraints. Thank you to my guardian angels; my aunt in the first place who gave me every chance to go ahead and recover the time I had lost … thank you to the great Sophie, this beautiful generous woman, who made her suffering a catalyst to cure others. A way to follow, a law to apply to achieve our happiness, the happiness of a few hundred people and why not thousands of others … thank you to my husband who has always believed in me and supported me so much. During my course, I never doubted my success, especially that the result was immediately before my eyes, in the eyes of others especially my friends or enemies no matter. The essential thing is that I will reach the end of my path and that one day I will be like everyone else, since until then, I did not look like everyone else. Thank you to myself, thanks to God and my angels, I now know how to please myself, I know how to adapt my daily life to my new needs as a woman a mother, in order to become an active being, in a society that only judges us by appearance. It is a very important passage in my life that helps me to progress as I hated stagnation. It is a legacy that I will pass on from generation to generation … it is the most beautiful experience that adorns my life.
Que peut on dire de plus beau ??? Cette jeune femme est devenue comme une soeur pour moi aujourd’hui, et chaque fois que je devais faire un voyage, ou un colloque, quelque chose d’important, elle venait après son travail, des fois a pieds pour me dire « allez, vas-y, t’inquiète pas, t’est la meilleure, montre leur, c’est tous des débutants à cote de toi, n’ai pas peur de montrer tout ce que tu sais, et que tu fais », et chaque fois je me dis, wow quelle femme cette Basma…. Elle est une perle pure et scintillante que j’ai trouvée dans une huitre scellée, et qui était enfouie dans le fond des océans…
