What made you decide to do something about your weight? What was your turning point?

I really don't know if I had a turning point but I had so many reasons that it's hard to pick one. I couldn't breath, I was medicated for high cholesterol, anxiety attacks, and depression. I would sweat at the slightest bit of activity, and I just was disgusted at my appearance in the mirror.

What was really special or unique about the Curves program? Why do you think it worked when others did not?

I think for me the fact that it was so structured and spelled out completely on the meal plans that I was able to follow it. Given a choice I would have opted for the wrong choice, so having it in black and white gave me the freedom to not have to decide my calories. As I just followed the meal plans it freed me up, also, to realize how I was eating, portions and variety of foods. Smaller meals more often I believe retrained my body to know when I was hungry and not just emotional.

How has eating the Curves way helped you change your lifestyle and lose weight? What do you like about it?

First off, I think before I eat. Am I hungry? Or is it just eating out of boredom or emotion? I think before I eat. I exercise before I eat, well I eat a small high protein before I eat otherwise I do get light headed. I drink a lot of water, which before Curves I would have reached for a soda instead. It's also consequences; do I really need that triple fudge cake? How many more workouts will I have to do to work off all those calories? It's all just a state of being now. This is my life, I eat what I want but not with thought!

What were some of the challenges in losing weight and how did you meet them?

I think the worst for me was breaking bad habits, especially late eating, T.V. time, that's when my Curves protein shake became my treat. It was not just a meal replacement it was what I look forward to, almost like my bad habit but this was ok.

What’s the difference in how you used to feel at your old weight, and how you feel now? What do you love about your lighter self?

I'm up for anything! There's nothing I can't do, even climb up on my roof to put up Christmas lights last winter, no shortness of breath, no anxiety. The one thing I love most about my lighter self is that I feel like I express myself more, I'm more confident about myself and am not embarrassed to speak up!
