Josie’s Story:
As a small boned woman, I had never been overweight until and accident changed my life. I have not been the same since and I find myself not wanting to leave the house. I feel depressed due to my weight gain. People don’t care how or why you gained the weight – they just see the weight. I was on steriods for over two years and on pain management. I started eating sweets, which I had never done before.
In 2007, my sister died as a result of obesity. I have been afraid ever since. I want to live a full, productive life and I feel that this the answer I have been seeking. I will have the confidence to be in pictures again, go shopping and do all the things I enjoy. Most of all, I will be able to give back to the community by being a voice for others who are in need like myself.
JOSIE – six weeks later – feeling proud and self-confident….and 17 pounds lighter! Josie is very excited about her new “thin” future, and is feeling very empowered! Congratulations!
