Arbel Mizrahi on her physical transformation: "At the beginning of my imprisonment, I started emotional eating"
A year after her release from prison, Arbel Mizrahi shares the physical and mental changes she has undergone, her decision to distance herself from the past, and the exact number of days she has been drug-free.
A series of candid answers provides a rare glimpse into the rehabilitation process and the physical and mental changes that Arbel Mizrahi has undergone since her release from prison. In response to a question about how she managed to lose a significant amount of weight, she shared the beginning of a journey that started precisely within the prison walls:
"At the beginning of the imprisonment, I started emotional eating, and I decided that I wanted to make a change. I no longer felt comfortable in my body, and I said that I would at least utilize this period, when I am only with myself without distractions. I started taking walks in the wing, just walking in circles, and eating healthy. Within three and a half months, I lost 28 kilograms. Today, a year after I was released, I am 32 kilograms lighter, and I am managing to maintain it."
Alongside her weight loss and return to a routine, she was asked about her business activities and whether she still sells smoking pipes. She explained the internal and spiritual shift she has experienced:
"I went through a very deep rehabilitation process, and as part of it, I try to stay as far away as possible from that world, and as a result, I no longer sell items of that kind."
When asked openly whether the risk she took was worth the price she paid, she left no room for doubt:
"In no way. There is no price for freedom, and nothing will bring back the time we lost."
Another significant milestone in her recovery was revealed when she was asked how long she has been drug-free. She publicly shared the exact duration of her journey, confirming she has been on a new, clean path for 3 years, 6 months, and 19 days.
