Medifast Success Stories: Sherryl Carter
now have enough energy to keep up with my 6-year-old son!
I had given up hope of ever returning to a normal weight. At the age of 35, after years of yo-yo dieting, I thought, “Face it, this is how it is going to be. Some people are thin and you are just you, so deal with it!â€
I read about Medifast and wondered if it could actually work for me. I visited the website daily to read the success stories and eventually a light bulb turned on in my head. I realized that if others could do it, I could too! I was amazed how great the food tasted and how simple it was to follow the plan. To date I have lost 73 pounds! I am living proof that Medifast works, if you work it.
My life changed in so many ways. I look different, people tell me I look younger and that I am glowing, my skin is clear, my outlook is optimistic, and I have enough energy to keep up with my 6-year-old son! More than the physical changes that have developed, I am different inside. I no longer use food as a problem-solver, or a coping mechanism. I am no longer under food’s control. I read labels, only drink water, eat vegetables, think before I eat, and exercise. In short, I am alive again!
I am now the person that I always knew that I could be. The way that I always thought of myself on the inside is what the world now sees when they look at me. It’s as if the clock of life has turned back 10 years, giving me a chance to do things differently and to make better choices when it comes to my health and well being. Although thank you seems inadequate, I hope that it can begin to express my gratitude and appreciation for the Medifast program. Thank you for helping me to achieve a life of quality rather than just a life.
