MY SUCCESS
I have struggled with weight issues ever since I was a child. I remember trying a diet for the first time when I was thirteen. Since then I have tried every diet and weight loss program one could imagine. Things would go good for a few weeks, sometimes a month, I would loose a little weight, but never could stick with it and then I would gain every pound back plus more. I was so disgusted with my weight and desperate to lose it, I was even considering bariatric surgery, that’s when I heard about Dr. Hempel’s program.
I went to my first appointment last September and my life has changed from that day on. During that appointment I had that ‘aha’ moment, things finally made sense and I realized why my eating was so unhealthy. Dr. Hempel made things simple and easy to understand. I could relate to his personal story and journey. I now eat to fuel my body; he teaches you how to balance your nutritional intake to help burn fat instead of storing it. I eat a lot more food now, it’s balanced and healthy, and I rarely ever feel hungry. My energy levels have increased ten fold; I crave physical activities, and look forward to working out. I know this sounds crazy, but it’s true. I even started running just this last week, something I never would have imagined I could do. It’s not only been a physical change for me, but a mental one as well; I am a much happier, confident person now and view life in a completely different light now. I can’t believe all the things I had been missing out on!
It has now been 8 months since that first appointment and I have lost over 90lbs and 12inches in my waist, I feel great. Its amazing I can go into most stores and find clothes that fit me, I don’t’ have to go the ‘big size’ store anymore. I am still working toward getting to my goal weight and hope to accomplish that by the end of the year. I would never have been able to accomplish this without the encouragement and support I receive from Dr Hempel and his staff.
