Sole
Hello there! My name is Sole and I'm going to try to sum up my life a little bit for you guys. I grew up on a farm in Argentina and I was always the skinny kid and my family praised me for it. I was rewarded for being the skinny kid with love and shown off to other members of my family as “you see how pretty she is” and that generated a very unhealthy relationship with food and with my body. I spent years not thinking I was skinny enough and trying every single diet I would use to make sure I didn't gain even 1/2 a pound.
In my mid twenties I moved to The States. Not having my family close by gave me the freedom to eat what I wanted to eat and so my journey to gaining weight began. That journey peaked when I got pregnant, and since I was eating for two I decided to throw all my reservations away and I ate what I wanted, as much as I wanted, when I wanted. I think my daughter's middle name should be Ben & Jerry's Chunky Monkey since I had a pint of it most nights!
Needless to say, I gained a lot of weight -more than 60 lbs in my pregnancy - plus what I had gained before I was pregnant. Although everyone says you'll lose your baby weight breastfeeding, that didn't work for me. I kept it on and gained some more since nobody had ever taught me how to lose weight. I tried diet after diet and tried to exercise my way to weight loss, but I was only able to lose 10 lbs here and there and that made me really depressed! You can imagine what that made me do - yes! You are right! I just ate more!! It was a vicious circle!
I needed help! I decided to get some support and worked with several coaches that guided me to finally understand that I needed to work on more than just my diet. My issues were deeper than the food I chose to put on my plate. I have since changed my relationship with food and developed a better appreciation for my body as it is. My identity isn't just skin deep anymore, but it took a lot of courage to figure that out.
While working on my health, I discovered I had some pre-cancerous cells in my digestive system. I also suffered from SIBO (Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth.) These challenges created additional obstacles for me to overcome as I did have to learn to be more particular about the food I was eating and ways in which I chose to engage in movement and exercise. Mentally, I really struggled with the restrictions. Changing my relationship with food and my body was no longer just something I could choose to do - it was an absolute must.
Instead of letting these hardships stop me in my tracks, I chose to see them as the way forward. I decided to become an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach so I could gain the knowledge to heal myself and be able to advocate for myself as I worked through my health struggles. Additionally, choosing to become a certified health coach also allows me to pursue my passion of supporting others. I want to be able to help others find and define their best health and wellness. I am living proof that it is possible to recover a broken relationship with food, with our bodies, and to steer the path of our lifelong health journey.
Why I wanted to be a part of MBT:
