When I was in middle school, I started to gain weight. I continued to gain weight in high school and college, but since I never was a big eater, I just assumed that being heavy was my “body type” and that I had to learn to live with it. 3 months ago I started working for Dr. Elyse Dishler at Medical Weight Loss of Cherry Hill. I saw how she treated her patients and the success they were having with weight loss, and I decided to become her patient. I learned that even though I wasn’t eating much food, I wasn’t eating the right foods. After a full medical evaluation and diet history, Dr. Dishler recommended the Optifast Medical Meal Replacement System. I eat a high-protein bar or shake every 3 hours through the day and a healthy dinner. For the first 4 days I felt weird and a little hungry, but on day 5 everything changed. I didn’t feel hungry anymore and my energy increased. I became motivated to add in exercise and drink more water. I lost my junk food cravings. The weight started to come off, and now at just 10 weeks into the program, I am down 32 POUNDS!! I feel like a different person, and I am still surprised every time I walk by the mirror. I am more motivated now than ever and can’t wait to see how much more I can lose and how much healthier I will feel. A phone consultation with Dr. Dishler is free, and you have nothing to lose but some stubborn weight!! Follow the website to see the rest of my weight loss journey!
