056: Marylee's Story: How she ditched dieting and disease (+ lost 30 pounds)

Mary Lee is a 65-year-old woman who has gone from discouraged to motivated! She is smashing her health goals with the Healthy Free Life Academy's Metabolic Reboot program. Finally, she believes her physical ability matches her spiritual life and she can go on a summer mission trip with the youth group!

MaryLee's Story of Disease

Marylee was struggling with health issues due to weight gain, and was unable to use traditional diets to reach her goals.

She struggled with:

• hypertension,
• acid reflux,
• sleep apnea,
• and even shortness of breath.

Ditching Diets Even as a Rule Follower

Although Marylee is a rule follower and had no problem following the rules of a diet and losing weight, she just couldn't keep it off.

As soon as she came off the diet, she gained the weight back.

God's Glorious Foods Lead to Healthy Free Life

However, since she joined Healthy Free Life, which is designed to help her achieve slow but steady weight loss without more dieting, Marylee doesn't feel deprived.

She actually likes the food she is eating and believes she doesn't need to "come off" so she can eat what she wants.

Marylee's Victory Story of Ditching Diets and Disease

The victories Marylee celebrates are non-scale and scale.

She is now:

• able to bend down without having to straddle
• has lost 30 pounds
• enjoys walking and listening to a podcast
• loves her exercise routine
• is looking forward to things in life (like volunteering with the youth on a summer mission trip)

 

"I'm feeling motivated, encouraged... I feel God has blessed me so much and I'm able to be a blessing to others." - Marylee
