Picture Perfect U

I am 32 years old; I have struggled with my weight my entire life. I was chubby in elementary, which was cute, but not so cute going into high school. I was picked on a lot. I managed to keep my weight the same through my early teens. I’ve tried every fad diet there is. I’ve even starved myself.

I reached 300 pounds, the heaviest I had ever been, and that scared me. Something had to be done!! I have nieces and nephews that I want to see grow up. I want to run and play with them. I had seen the commercials for U Weight Loss™ Clinics but never really paid attention. I was scared to go and check it out. Then on May 27 I walked in the U Weight Loss™ Clinic and sat down. We discussed the program, where I wanted to be and how I was going to get there. They made me feel I could do it. I signed on right there.

I started my first week with a bang, I lost 11 pounds. I was hooked. It seemed so easy. I went in everyday that first week; I began to feel really comfortable. The girls were all so supportive, answered all my questions, made sure I was doing well. The meals are great and easy to make. They made it so easy, getting my menu plans ready and a shopping list, explaining everything that I was taking and how important it was. They made me feel comfortable just walking, even if I was having a bad week, I could talk about anything. If I am having a bad week and not losing the way I should, we look at the big picture to see what I can do to fix this. I don’t feel like I am doing it alone.

I have lost 40 pounds to date and I feel great. I am doing the CIBC Run for the Cure, something I never imagined myself doing. When I reach my weight goal in the spring I am planning on running the half Manitoba Marathon. I can see a future where I can look in the mirror and smile.
