Phyllis’s Weight Loss Story!
When did you become unhappy with your weight?
All my life!

No idea. I think it was the need to be seen as a person not as a “fat person”. Also, I think God moved me to begin to take care of my temple.
What were the most important changes you made to lose weight?
I ate less and exercised more. I ate better foods, fewer processed foods, more fiber, less fat. I also exercise 4 times a week.

Being hungry and not caring. Overcoming body image concepts.
How long did it take you to start to see results?
About a two weeks.
How long did it take for you to reach your current weight?
18 1/2 months.
How long have you maintained your weight loss and how do you do it?
Since November of 2005. I eat the same and exercise the same. I run, lift weights, walk.
How has your life changed now that you’ve lost weight?
I’m seen more by all people. Men find me attractive. I feel freer in my body.
