“Since I was a young gal with two thin blonde sisters, and I, a strong, muscled and dark-haired lass, I grew up with body dysmorphia. I didn’t know it was OK to be different. I was never obese. I never was fat. I was just muscled. Pudgy. Fluffy. I went to college, discovered sports, and my skin felt wonderful. That began a lifelong love affair with/ exercise. I also found the ice cream cooler at the end of the cafeteria. I might’ve put on a little weight in college! Maybe not the freshman 15, but more padding!!!

After college, I was selected for a job on a cruise ship as a working journalist and had a wonderful time sailing worldwide. I was terrified about gaining weight with all the gorgeous food they had. And I had a wine budget formy dining room table guests! After the ship, I travelled around by myself overseas. Back in the states, I did several jobs before meeting my forever fellow. We moved to the West Coast, married, and had two children.

I was challenged to maintain a weight of 140- 150 pounds during this time. At 5 feet 2 inches, that is just too much for me.

I had tried Weight Watchers back on the East Coast and tried it again, counting everything I ate, weighing, measuring, and wondering when my next snack would be. Well, it worked until 2020, when it didn’t work. I found my way to intermittent fasting through Gin Stephens. That was back in 2021, November 6, to be exact, is the day I started.

I jumped on the wagon right then. I am the “pull off the Band-Aid kind of gal”, and I plunged into fasting between 16 and 18 hours. I began right away with the clean fast cause Gin schooled me. I had impressive results and fell short of my goal of 125. When I started, I weighed 142, I think. And when I weighed in at 125, I had shed 17 inches of body fat. That was from November 2021 to February 2022. Yup! right through the holidays, ha ha!

My first interview with Graeme (# 141 in 2022) shares that journey and success. Today, with Graeme, I wish to share…how I navigated open heart surgery and kept my fasting life alive…as the medical staff cheered and took notes!!
