I lost 125 pounds — I did it my way

"I started doing yoga, meditation and therapy to make a holistic experience of it. These practices help me keep my focus on being healthy and kind to myself. So my focus now is less on food and more on how to do good things that aren’t detrimental. It’s a more balanced approach.

They are a fantastic team. When you choose bariatric surgery, not everyone you tell will be supportive, but I felt very confident in telling people I have a whole team of people looking out for me, including counselors and nutritionists who are very helpful in encouraging my holistic approach."
