Stephanie of
Aptos, California
Lost 54 1/2 lbs, 82 3/4inches!
"I was an overweight child, teen and adult. I had feebly tried losing weight
on my own before, without success. I couldn't bring myself to join a weight loss program
because it felt like an admission of guilt.
Eventually, the pressure of graduate school and my first year teaching caused me to stress-eat
and my weight rose to 209 lbs. I developed knee problems, and the doctor
indicated that my weight was most likely aggravating the problem, if not causing it.
Finally, my father had gallbladder surgery, a very painful experience for him, and
he advised me to do something about my weight before I had to face the same situation.
I turned to The Healthy Way for help, and the constant support and steady results amazed me.
The counselors taught me how to listen to my body and understand why I stress-eat, and how to
prevent it through stabilizing my blood sugar. I learned about nutrition, how to read labels, and how to
make healthy food choices, even when I eat out.
The program wasn't difficult to learn or follow, and helped me to manage the stress of being a busy teacher.
The Healthy Way empowered me to independently manage my weight, maintain a healthy lifestyle, and think
possitively about my body."
