"A happy single mum who’s found balance in her life!"
Anna has been a nurse in the municipality of Örebro for a few years. Almost two years ago Anna brought home her little girl My from China. It has been a hectic time and Anna has been resolute in her commitment both to Xtravaganza and herself.
- My challenge and my goal is to find balance in my life, feel that I have time for myself, my daughter, my job as well as have fun. I have my parental home at Hälsö which I am now renovating and can’t wait to finish.
Just home from Mallorca, where she went with My, a friend and her daughter, Anna has come far in her strive to find balance in her life. Three months after starting at Xtravaganza at the Nika Training Studio at Hönö Anna has lost 24 kilos, she’s become fit and is well on her way to reaching her goal. A happy single mum who’s found balance in her life! I’ve dieted my whole life Anna has dieted her entire life. She’s been to Weight Watchers a few times, eaten Nutrilett and tried GI inspired food. Now she’s found the right path - Training, mental training and food replacement suits me perfectly!
I’m a yoyo dieter so the mental part is the most important for me. The mental training is probably the most important Anna put on weight fast, and she lost it fast and it feels important to her and to now continue and succeed with the mental training feels important. She wants a permanent change in behaviour and a fair target image.
- Just like I didn’t notice that I was putting on weight so fast, 89 kilos, all time high!, I now haven’t really come to terms with the fact that I am slim, 65 kilos.
So now it’s the mental training part that’s important. Body and soul are connected That thoughts, feelings and behaviour are connected is obvious to Anna. She’s extremely clear when she describes why she has put on weight again, and why she likes the fact that Xtravaganza’s programmes help people with the entire problem.
- I understand that my eating is connected to my state of mind. Almost two years ago I adopted my daughter My. That was a big change in my life and although I was happy about My it was also a time in my life when I felt lonely, without adult contact and a social life, which meant that I sometimes felt depressed. That’s when I comforted myself or filled this empty space with food.
The completeness of Xtravaganza is a strength. Making life work without excluding yourself has not always been simple. Now it’s important to be on a positive spiral, where the training is extremely important to Anna.
- I trained before My arrived, here at Nika. And I know that I want to train, I feel good when I train. And then when I found out about Xtravaganza groups and realised that I could do both things at the same time with a little babysitting help from my sister, I decided to go ahead. Here at Nika I have sometimes been able to have My with me, which I’m really pleased about.
