Empowering Stories

Have you ever felt like you have lost control of something?    That is how I felt about my weight. I felt defeated.  When my wedding rings finally fit again, I was ecstatic!  I felt like I had found control again.

before this experience I can't really remember the last time we hugged where I could touch my own hands behind his back.  That is, not until a few weeks ago!

Every week of the program I learned something new about my  journey to lose weight and change my life style. I gained confidence, energy and strength to achieve my goal in a better lifestyle!

Originally when I started Ideal Protein I was taking my doctors advice to lose weight before surgery. I couldn't even eat vegetables.

As I was approaching my 60th birthday it made me consider what I want my third act of life to look and feel like.  Releasing 50 lbs completely changed my life.

My biggest thing, was the kindness I began to grow for my body... which allowed me to share this appreciation with others, and more importantly with my son. 

I struggled to find the right diet for over a year.  Each week I was so hungry and disappointed in myself.  I am 50 lbs down, and more than half way to my goal!  I feel more like me again!  

Previously I was lethargic and didn't have the energy to do some of the things I love, like biking and going to the gym.   Now I have the energy to do that and then some.

Last February, I was getting ready to return to my full-time job (remotely), while still helping my four year old with online learning and watching my 18 month old.  I needed more energy!

For me, this was/is about self discovery.    Now, I know it’s about creating a balance within myself so that I can be the best version of myself.

The program gave me so much knowledge and empowered me to have control over my inflammation issues and weight loss. I had been struggling for years and I finally conquered my desire to stay in control. 😊 

After years of feeling like I had gotten too old to feel good about my body, I have shown I was wrong.  I honestly believed that with my 40's brought a self image I would never feel the same about again.  Wow, was I every wrong.
