I walked into the U Weight Loss™ Clinic in North Bay, Ontario with Paul, my husband and biggest supporter, and was met by the most wonderful bunch of girls (staff) anyone with low self-esteem and NO self-image could ever imagine meeting.
Pam, the owner, introduced me to the program and after a lot of tears on my part, I became a client. The most important question she asked me was, ''Where do you see yourself in five years?'' I replied, ''Dead'', as I honestly knew that, if I continued on the path of destruction I was on, I would be...
I weighed 190 lbs on a 5 ft frame. I wore sizes IX to 2X. I was taking high blood pressure medication and could hardly carry my laundry basket up one flight of stairs. My back and knees were in constant pain. I am now a client of the YMCA. My self-esteem and self-image were non-existent. I did not like myself and projected this onto my husband and others. He would say, ''If you don't like you, how can you like others?'' He was so right.
I tried every major weight loss program for over 20 years and was not successful on any of them. This was probably because I saw them as a DIET, not a lifestyle change. My U Weight Loss™ program is truly a lifestyle change, not a diet.
With the incredible support of the staff at U Weight Loss™ and excellent menu plans, I have been able to lose weight in the past four months and continue to lose weight. The staff has cried with me when I was so overwhelmed with emotion at how well I was doing and looking.
I have lost 43 lbs and have 13 lbs to go to my goal weight. I know without a doubt that I will be successful. I have mentally changed my outlook on life! Thanks to the staff at U Weight Loss™, I know I will never go back to the way I used to eat.
I used to live to eat, now I eat to live. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for giving me my life back!
