Achieving Goals, Both On and Off the Field
Just hours after her procedure, Martha traveled home to New Jersey to complete her recovery, and by day four, she was feeling well enough to resume her normal daily activities.
By two weeks post-procedure, Martha had already lost 15 pounds. She remained committed to the True You diet plan, drinking her liquids and getting all of her protein, and was thrilled to see those early results. Martha’s hard work and dedication has continued to pay off. Today, she is down to 158 pounds, which surpasses her goal weight of 160—and she now has her sights set on a new goal of 155 pounds.
“I know this is possible because I have the motivation, guidance and support from True You,” Martha reflects. “Their team continues to help me through every step of this process. My dietitian, Laura, has been especially amazing. She has taught me a lot about portion control and exercise—information that has been crucial to my success.”
For example, Martha now understands that she can eat throughout the day as long as she is controlling her portions. She even travelled to Peru for a recent vacation and enjoyed many different foods and Peruvian delicacies. By using portion control throughout the entire trip, Martha had actually lost three pounds by the time she returned home.
Additionally, Martha has learned that exercise does not mean she needs to spend hours in the gym every day. Thanks to advice from the team, Martha now engages in the physical activities that work best for her, such as walking and soccer, and she doesn’t pressure or overwhelm herself by doing more than she can handle. In her new body, Martha is finally sleeping well again, and she feels a resurgence of energy, as well as a re-energized sense of self.
“During this journey, I have developed a newfound respect for myself and my body,” Martha concludes. “I feel good, and I know that I look good too—I can actually see the difference when I compare myself to pictures from before. I am finally playing soccer again, and I am able to be active with my kids. I can run with them at the park, and practice soccer with my son without getting tired. Most importantly, I have finally started to love myself—and for that I would re-do this journey 100 times over again.”
