 Cecilia, at the start |
 Cecilia, Feb 2011 |
I’m the kind of person who prefers sitting down with a good book over being active. I hate exercise! And I love my food. I’ve seen about 5 different nutritionists since the age of 16 but still I have never been able to lose weight. But I was ready to give it another try.

Christmas and the cookies
TweetShareEmailIn my brilliance I decided to start Metabolic Balance mid October so that I would run right into Christmas. And of course I was flying home to the land of Sonja, our family cook who makes the most amazing food and above all cookies! My aim was not to gain weight, but to keep my [...]
My old clothes don’t fit anymore
TweetShareEmailSo on Thursday I burst into tears about … wait for it: The fact that none of my clothes fit me anymore! I don’t know if I mentioned this before but I am a fashion designer. I love clothes. They are really important to me. So there I was at Harrods trying this awesome leather [...]
Feeling good, 15 kgs later!
TweetShareEmail 2 months later, 15 kilos less and I feel amazing. I have reached the goal I wanted and I am extremely happy, more confident and just good. I was happy and well before, but I didn’t realize that I could be a step above that. That even though I was fine in my skin [...]
