a plate of cookies in front of me I may take one, but
I may not eat it right off. At that moment it may not
be the best time for me to indulge in a snack,” said
Kinney. “I no longer eat when I want, but I will still
eat the cookie when it is appropriate to have food
intake.”
It is important to have a support group
around you when deciding to make a life change.
Kinney’s support group consists of family, friends,
co-workers, and doctors. Kinney says she reaches out
to this group for advice, encouraging words, and for
information. With so much encouragement from
her support group, Kinney is trying to encourage
others to adapt a new life style.
“In order for someone to stick with any weight
loss program, you have to want to lose the weight
for yourself,” said Kinney. “When you are ready to
start a lifestyle change, do it for yourself, don’t do
it for anyone else because losing and maintaining a
healthy weight won’t last otherwise.”
Kinney has yet to reach her weight loss goal,
and she is determined to lose the extra weight and
maintain a healthy lifestyle. “Over the past year, I
have managed to lose between seven to ten pounds
per month,” said Kinney. “This is impressive since I
only began in January of this year, but I intend to
lose thirty more pounds to reach my goal of an ideal
weight.”
“I deserve to be healthy,” said Kinney. Today
she is completely off all insulin medications and is
down to taking one pill a day. “When someone is
ready to change their lifestyle, I hope my story will
reach them and encourage them to accomplish their
goals.”
