Guest Blogger Rosa: Wife, Mother and Grandmother

,

I’m a wife, mother, and grandmother.  I have always been comfortable putting all of the focus on my family, that way I didn’t have to focus on myself.  The boys are involved in a variety of after school activities so I stay involved as a booster member, not to mention I also have staff and committee meetings to attend at school.  My mother also lives alone so I try to spend a few evenings a week with her. After many years of not paying attention to myself, my weight skyrocketed and my health plummeted.  What’s worse is I feel like I’ve led my family into the same situation.  My husband was overweight and my youngest two sons still living at home were following suit.  Some days, I feel like my alarm is the starting bell to a race and doesn't stop until I hit the pillow at night.  If I was going to keep up at this pace, I knew I had to make a change.

I needed a weight loss program that gave me a daily intake plan to follow with guided food choices.  I didn’t do well with the “eat whatever you want and still lose weight” weight loss programs.  Following MWLC, I’m encouraged to make well balanced meals from all of the food groups, something I haven’t done in the past.  We are all losing weight!

Prepping food for the week is key to weight loss success.  Making sure supplement bars are on hand for the kids and easy to grab snacks keep us all from veering off plan. We all started as a family in April last year and by Halloween, I’d lost sixty pounds.  It was great seeing everyone over the holidays and for the first time I didn’t mind the attention.  I’ve maintained the weight loss and now that spring is here, I’m ready to set another weight loss goal. Shedding another 25 pounds will have me looking forward to clothes shopping for the summer!

Support varies from family, friends, and even sometimes in the workplace. Joining colleagues in a weight loss challenge at work will keep me motivated more than ever.

When you enroll in a Medical Weight Loss Clinic program, the length of your program will be determined by you and the staff based on the amount of weight you want to lose and how quickly you want to lose it. Your actual weight loss will be determined by many factors, including, but not limited to: your medical circumstances, the plan you choose, adherence to the meal plan and use of nutritional supplements. Your goal and program duration information will be given to you in writing at the time of enrollment. As your program progresses, the rate you lose weight may change and you will have the opportunity to discuss this at every daily visit with your weight loss consultant, where changes to your meal plan and/or program can be made.
