What made you decide to do something
about your weight? What was your turning
point?
I was about 6 months from
graduating from pharmacy school. I thought that
I should get myself into shape if I was going to
be talking to others about health issues. Also,
I had began to experience extreme pain and
swelling in the joints of my knees and ankles.
What was really special or unique
about the Curves program? Why do you think it
worked when others did not?
The
Curves exercise and 6 Week solution program was
not very challenging. I did not feel like I was
on a "diet." I made a positive lifestyle change
instead. The people at Curves also served as
motivators for me. Every milestone was
celebrated, and I was motivated to keep pushing.
How has eating the Curves way helped
you change your lifestyle and lose weight? What
do you like about it?
I make better
choices when it comes to eating. I like it
because I have not really had to sacrifice any
foods that I really like. I learned how to
choose what is better for me like buying leaner
meats, eating light yogurt, etc.
What
were some of the challenges in losing weight and
how did you meet them?
The biggest
challenge was making time during the day to eat
smaller more frequent meals. Also, I had a hard
time thinking ahead to plan meals instead of
preparing them spontaneously. I set aside time
at night to prepare lunch and plan for dinner
each night just before I go to bed. At work I
use short breaks to eat snacks or I have learned
to multi-task (like, work and snack at the same
time).
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 feel so much more confident
in my new body. I have not had any severe joint
pain and swelling since the weight loss began. I
am also motivated to continue losing weight so
that I can be healthier than I am now.
Any tips or advice for your fellow
Curves members?
- Perseverance pays off. I have learned not to
deprive myself, but to practice control.
- Use each accomplishment to keep you
motivated.
