I was sitting in my doctor's discussing my health when she asked me if I had ever considered having my stomach stapled.WAKE UP CALL TIME. I told her that I would rather get control of my habits and that I would be able to lose weight myself without having to resort to surgery. My doctor then recommended a local nutritionist who was a PhD in the field. I went to see her and she put me on a bulls eye target diet that had me eating so many fats, so many veggies, so many meats on a daily basis. When she weighed me in I weighed 398 pounds I followed her plan and saw her every three weeks. While I was losing weight, it was only due to the discipline of following her diet and I hadn't really learned anything about food, what causes your body to store or burn fat or how to increase your metabolism. |
After agreeing with her that there really wasn't any more I could learn, (little did I know) I went on my own with the diet that she had given me and eventually became bored with it. I then gained back half the weight I had lost and was 350 lbs again and not happy about it. I decided to join a gym and one day met Pearla who asked me about my nutrition. She told me about a class she taught so I decided to go. I learned more in the first class she taught then seeing a PhD in nutrition for over a year. Pearla is the most knowledgeable person I have ever talked to about eating. The thing I really liked was here was a person who not only talked the talk but had walked the walk as she had lost weight and transformed herself, as is my goal. Pearla"s passion for what she does is an inspiration and enough to keep anyone motivated to reach your goals. She is also an excellent trainer and after training with her for 6 months I weighed in this morning at 255 lbs., 5 lbs from my original goal. I can guarantee you that if you listen to what she says, do what she suggests, that you will not only reach your goals you will transform your life and others around you. Living healthy and well is not a diet, it is a lifestyle. Pearla has taught me this and I can not thank her enough. Who said you can't teach an old dog new tricks?
