Testimony
by Sally
"In June of 2005, a good friend
and co worker mentioned to me that he and his wife had started
a weight loss program at the Doctor’s Weight Control
Center in Clermont not to far from my house. I listened and
asked a few questions and thought to myself that sounds like
a great program. Sometime it is something like that conversation
that got me thinking about trying this program. I called, made
an appointment and I made one of the biggest commitments of
my life. I am the type of person that if I say I am going to
do something I am going to stick to it. I joined in July 2005.
My goal was to loose 95 pounds. When you think about that,
you have to think about it one pound at a time. The number
95 is so overwhelming that I could never look at it like that.
Each time I hit another 10 pounds I would do something special
for myself.
This program is a complete change of lifestyle for myself, as
well as my husband Howard. We walk together just about every
night 2 -4 miles. Where we live in Clermont is very hilly and
believe me in the beginning I thought I would never get back
up those hills but we kept going. We don’t let the heat
stop us, or the cold in the colder months. It is a commitment
to us to be healthy for each other.
I feel so much better about myself and my doctors are amazed.
My blood pressure has gone from sky high to low. I may be 62
years old but I can run circles around my co-workers who are
years younger than me. I did this for all the right reasons and
so grateful that my co-worker planted the seed for me.
The plan is relatively simple if you can read a label on a package
to see what you are eating. You have to look long-term not short
term as this is forever. I was wearing a size 24 when I started
and now I am starting to buy size 12. That is such motivation
in itself.
Please, do yourself a favor and try this program but be sure
you put your whole heart and soul into it because the results
are amazing when you make the commitment to yourself. You must
do it for you not anyone else. I was so fortunate to have my
special someone want to eat and exercise right along with me
every day.
The staff here, are wonderful and so supportive thru the program.
Give it a try I did and one year later I am a new person."
