public
WHAT WAS THE “TURNING POINT” THAT GOT YOU
STARTED ON YOUR WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY? My turning point to my weight loss journey
was seeing the MRI from the near fatal accident I was in. I was diagnosed
pre-diabetic, I had sleep apnea and PCOS. Also, after I had my son, I wanted to
get healthy before he became a toddler
HOW DID YOU GET STARTED? The first step I took to begin my journey was
changing my eating habits

TO SEE RESULTS OF YOUR WEIGHT LOSS EFFORTS? I started to see results about 1 month after
beginning my journey
WHAT WAS THE HARDEST PART? A major challenge I had was the negative
thoughts I would have in my head. I was constantly telling myself I wasn’t good
enough, and I was going to be obese for the rest of my life.

YOU GOING? For someone who
battled with their weight all their life, I constantly wanted to give up. my

hit a few plateaus during my weight loss phase. My WHY was finally strong
enough for me to overcome them.

months approximately

WHAT DOES YOUR DAILY DIET LOOK LIKE
COMPARED TO WHEN YOU WERE HEAVIER? When I was heavier, I was eating at least six
Hershey’s symphony king size chocolate bars about five times per week. I ate a
lot of fried greasy and unhealthy starchy foods such as mac and cheese, loaded
baked potato soup, and festivals/fried dumplings.

TO WHEN YOU WERE HEAVIER?
When I was heavier, I was pretty much immobile. The only exercise I did
was, walk to my car to drive to work. Now, I exercise at least three days per
week.
