At the age of 37 years old I was at the heaviest I had ever been. I was not feeling very great about myself and was feeling uncomfortable in my own skin. I have so much to be happy about such as a great husband, a wonderful family and some of the best in-laws a girl could ask for. It still did not take away the feeling of being very uncomfortable.
Then, one day something just clicked and I realized I was tired of feeling tired. I wanted to be able to have energy and just feel better in general. I had severe acid reflux and bad blood pressure. It was time for a change!
January 15, 2010 was the day I started dieting. Unfortunately, I started with another diet involving drinking protein shakes. I was not eating very much at all. I drank shakes for breakfast and supper and ate a salad for lunch. I lost some weight but come on–I was not eating. There had to be something better and healthier out there. After praying and talking with my mother-in-law, we found The Weigh Station. I made my first appointment on March 29, 2010, and I’m truly grateful I did.
These visits ensure that you stay focused on making good choices until you can depend on yourself, which I can do now that I’ve been doing maintenance for a while. For any woman who puts themselves last, my word of advice is that for once, put yourself first and get those unwanted pounds off. I’m truly grateful for The Weigh Station and their wonderful team. I couldn’t have done this without their help.
