Perdió los 68 kilogramos que su novio le obligó a aumentar

Con ayuda de una cirugía para la pérdida de peso, ejercicio, buena alimentación y fortaleza mental, logró perder el peso que aumentó para darle gusto a su novio.

Christine Carter llevó durante años una relación tormentosa en la que era maltratada psicológicamente por su novio, que hacía todo lo posible para evitar que lo dejara, sin importar poner en riesgo su salud.

La mujer narró a Us Magazine que el hombre se volvió inseguro y celoso y la obligaba a mantener su peso a través de maltratos psicológicos que llevaron a que Carter perdiera su autoestima y se dejara llevar por sus abusos.

Con el tiempo, aumentó su peso rápidamente y gastaba hasta 6 millones de pesos en solo comida chatarra. Asegura que comía durante todo el día y la noche y dejó de vivir por ella misma.

When embarking on a new journey-it's easy to feel daunted, overwhelmed….terrified. I read a quote yesterday that I love…"you can never cross the ocean unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore". Courage isn't something you wake up with. It's found in the small improvements we make on a daily basis. It's constant repetition of these improvements. It's knowing that there is no 'try'…you either do or do not. Today-whatever is stopping you or holding you back…reach deep down and find the courage to push past it-even if just a little. Choose to DO today.

Al darse cuenta de su daño, su familia decidió intervenir. La reunieron y pidieron que cambiara sus hábitos, que de continuar, le pudieron haber causado la muerte.

Terminó con su novio y se realizó una cirugía para ponerse una banda gástrica, que funcionó por algunos meses, pero dejó de hacerlo por sus malos hábitos.

Un día, decidió tomar las riendas de su vida; se empezó a ejercitar, a alimentarse de forma correcta y no menos importante, aprendió a dejar atrás su pasado.

Flashing back to a year ago today. 100 pounds ago. 365 days. I was already 50 pounds down, and feeling so much better in my skin. I love progress pictures. Are you taking them? No matter where you are in your journey I think progress pics are so important. Sometimes the scale goes up and I still get nervous. But taking these pics allows me to see progress and see change.

Con su nuevo estilo de vida logró perder 68 kilos a través de un proceso complejo y difícil que documentó en su cuenta de Instagram, que cuenta con más de 69 mil seguidores.

Aseguró también que con su historia espera motivar a otras mujeres que se ven envueltas en relaciones tormentosas que las hacen olvidar la importancia de luchar por ellas mismas y su bienestar.

I'll never forget the feeling I felt when I took that picture on the left. Feeling lost, broken, and out of control in ALL areas of my life. I knew two things: I would have an amazing transformation and it would be the hardest thing I've ever done. What I didn't know is what happiness like this could feel like. I didn't know how it would feel to be free from the chains that bound me. I didn't know the girl I would find along the way. The #1 question I get asked from you guys is how to get motivated. Tomorrow on our weightlosshero show at 3pm, we will come live to you to help you. It's time to get motivated. It's time to start. The time is now. Happy #transformationtuesday

Today is YOUR day. Not yesterday. Not tomorrow. TODAY. Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Free yourself from the chains that bind you, and march forward with freeing abandoned. Learn to love your struggles. Give up the thoughts that tell you that you CAN'T. Only allow positivity to flow through your mind today, and claim TODAY as yours. Whatever it is you are working on in your life-IT IS POSSIBLE. You've heard it time and time again…"whether you think you can, or you think you can't-you're right". Choose today to begin to create the life you want. Happy Transformation Tuesday.
