Get Vulnerable, GO Public: Lisa

I believe the most powerful tool for inspiration is other people's stories. Nothing motivates me more than someone else on the same journey, just a few steps further down the road. Thank you to Lisa for sharing her story with me!

Half way there! Lisa's 6 month update!

How did you feel before Boot Camp?

Before Extreme Weight Loss: Destination Boot Camp I felt like a failure regarding weight loss. I thought I just couldn't do it. I had a lot of excuses in my life: "I deserve to eat these..." "I've been trying to lose for so long." "I will never lose the weight."  I also was an emotional eater. I'd feel a strong emotion (happy, sad, angry, frustrated, etc) and just eat whatever was closest. 

What was the moment when you actually realized you were transforming?

The moment I felt I was transforming was actually at Bootcamp. I initially went to camp with the attitude that I'd just do this program for a little while. I didn't think I had the power to permanently change. But being at camp with all the other bootcampers, and hearing all their stories made me realize that I did have the power within me. 

How do you feel now?

I feel SO much better and 35 lbs lighter! I have a lot more energy and my joints are much less sore. I feel emotionally strong and I feel for that first time that I have the will power to eat healthy. That's huge for me!

What are you most proud of with your transformation journey?

I'm most proud of sticking to this plan for as long as I have and am down 35 lbs so far!

What is the biggest lesson/takeaway you've had through DBC?

My biggest lesson is recognizing I am a food addict, but now I have the power to beat this.
