Sophia Kattou
Lost 20.30 Kg
My name is Sofia, I am 37 years old, married and have two little girls. I work at Nicosia General Hospital as an Assistant Secretarial Officer in the Hematology Clinic.
After my second pregnancy, I was at my heaviest weight ever and it made me not want to look at myself in the mirror - I felt sad. I realised that I had allowed myself to sink into a form of depression, and that was something I would have to fight for the sake of my children as well. I also had rather large breasts which caused a problem with my back.
I made the decision to visit my Consultant, Lisa Karatzia, and with her encouragement, support and that of my husband, I joined the plan. At first it was quite difficult, since I had to leave my old eating habits behind and consume much less calories than what I was used to. Halfway through my journey, I thought I might not be able to continue, but having already seen results (loss of weight and centimeters) from the first month, that was enough to give me the willpower to continue and lose 20kg…so far.
After losing the excess weight, my life naturally changed for the better. Above all, my mental health had improved quite a bit, as had my self-confidence, and I could now more easily see and admire myself. It was difficult at the beginning; however, I was motivatied to reach my desired weight and get back into clothes that I had saved and said, “Yes, I will wear them again!” I now get to see them on me and not in the closet.
My favorite product is the Strawberry & Apple Bar. In order to achieve my goal, the fact that I was in a psychological hole, which I wanted to escape, contributed significantly. With the support of my Consultant and the guidance she provided me, as well as the support of my husband, I was able to get to where I am now.
