About this Book
This is a project under construction about stories of patients with obesity. Throughout the years as a patient in this type of comprehensive treatment, I learned from them, my teachers, the path towards a lighter life.
​
From the book “Adelgozarte”, by Sergio Iribarren (page 87),
“Balance. Balance needs opposites. The opposite is what levels. It is to stop fighting, it is to accept the opposites. To integrate.
Anger can make me more measured. Sadness seek joy. Obesity leads me to thinness. A treatment to the freedom to be what I want.”
​
From the book “Más vida, Menos Kilos” by Dr. Máximo Ravenna (page 131),
"Why can a person be an example of balance in different areas of her life and get out of control when faced with a piece of cake? The answer is simple: the cake has elements that have neurobiochemical effects at the brain level and produce adherence and lack of control.
However, the addictive issue is not the only trap that the body sets for us when eating. There are other factors that lead us to gain weight..."

About this Book
Trencadís de mujeres touches on issues concerning women between the ages of 35 and 48 regarding their relationship with their body, sexuality, motherhood, partner, professional fulfillment, family and gender violence. These different themes are approached from the experiences of these women who, in a captivating and intimate way, show the path that the female gender has traveled through since the early 90s.
Trencadís de mujeres was created during a seven-day trip to some old mountains in the south of the Buenos Aires province. The writing, made in the style of a road movie, is shown through conversations, interior monologues, experiences, as well as data and contributions from professionals related to the subject. The end of the trip occurred when the pandemic became official, which made the authors wonder whether or not to continue with the project. ​
Trencadís de mujeres aims to be a contribution to understanding a world that changes too quickly.

Life hurts sometimes, sometimes it tires, sometimes it aches; it is not perfect, it is not consistent, it is not easy, it is not infinite, but in spite of everything,
life is beautiful - la vida es bella.
About these Books
“When I was a girl I thought that writing a book was not for me, that only a select few - unattainable - could do it. However, restlessness was always around along with wanting to inherit a castle, dance at the Colón or become a war correspondent. Why did I want to write? I didn't know, I just wanted to write and above all else, I wanted to write about what was happening to me. One day I did and the door to a new world opened for me.”
