I don’t need to tell you that losing weight — and keeping it off, is hard.
It’s hard carrying the weight, and even harder dealing with frustration, guilt, failure, loss of control, laziness and inadequacy.
I was bullied as a child. Because the big kids were left alone, I concluded that big was safe. I began to eat. I got bigger.. and bigger.
Eventually the bullying stopped but my eating disorder continued. Years later, my grandmother, with Type II Diabetes, had a bilateral leg amputation. That was my horrific wake up call.
Weighing in at 280 lbs at just 5’9, I made it my mission to learn everything I could about nutrition, exercise, weight loss and weight loss diets. I didn’t know anything about low carbs, keto, fats, proteins, portions or meal planning. IT TOOK ME TWO YEARS TO LOSE 100 LBS. Today, my personal goal is to stay healthy and help others to lose weight and keep it off. To reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and Diabetes. But mostly, to help people feel better about themselves. To learn how to eat for enjoyment and to live a fulfilling life.
